The survey of 144 U.S. travel buyers also revealed that they believe the risk of fraud is growing, with two-thirds (68 percent) saying travel programs face a greater threat today than they did two or three years ago.

When researching hotels, business travelers and those managing travel accommodations for an organization's mobile workforce may want to consider staying at establishments with surveillance in the lobby and around the grounds. In addition, selecting a hotel with security guards on the hotel grounds, well-controlled access to the main entrance of the hotel, and multilingual staff are paramount security measures to consider when researching the appropriate hotel for the business traveler.
