Business travel is considered exciting and glamorous - but mostly by those who don't have to travel on business. The reality is that business travel can be grueling. It's hard on the back, hard on the family, and increasingly hard on the wallets of entrepreneurs without fat corporate expense accounts to rely on.
Despite the recent hype over making travel arrangements online, most people are still using the Web primarily as a research tool. The best way to make your reservations generally depends on the type of traveler you are and the nature of your trip. Booking online works well for simple trips to familiar places, but you'll still need to contact a live human travel agent for complicated itineraries or trips with possible last-minute changes, upgrades or cancellations.
Travel agents are people, too - which means some are good and some aren't. Finding the right one to handle all your travel needs takes time and effort. First, determine the type of business services you require from an agent, as you may not use the same one for your business travel needs as you do for your vacations. Ask business contacts, friends or consultants for referrals.
Look for bags with heavy-duty stitching, zippers, metal buckles, and padded handles and shoulder straps. Thick ballistic nylon, leather or a combination of the two are your best bet. Opt for dark colors that don't show scuffs easily.

You are absolutely right.
To many of us, the first business trip is always the most exciting, the most interesting and jaw-dropping or awesome.
However, after the 100th business trips, the 101 trip will be as routine, as per normal as novelty loses its shine. Mind you, business travels are not like tourism or holiday travels. You go to places where the tourist would not go, and out of the limelight, the glare of publicity and into the backyards of the beautiful cities, you will go to shipyards, construction sites and stay in dorms or apartments.
To make this forum a place for people to share their experiences in business travels, you have got to be open minded, to accept and empathize with the writer and make the audience feel at home with their sharing, be it insignificant or dramatically big.
If you were to read the past postings by most people, they tend to share their happy and good feelings about a place, a city, or some good experiences they encountered, which make their days, and they will go home with it. The common things most travelers do are:
1. to take photos of scenic places for memory.
2. to buy souvenirs.
3. to go for unique tastes of food only found in the place.
4. to take a ride on a camel, or a horse, or a roller-coaster or some adrenalin-pumping experience.
5. most exceptional and extraordinary experience.
The forum should give them space to put up their photo gallery, their exotic experience and thrills on the travels, something exciting, and challenging.
Do not limit to BUSINESS TRAVEL, make it ALL TRAVELS, including domestic travels, not necessarily overseas to other countries.

Hi James, How r u doing mate..
nice to see ya nice postings and hard work.. After long absence, finally I m back.
Well, I'd agree with Bond 007, that this forum shouldn't only consider as Business Travel, but we can extend it from Businss to personal travels, fun, holidays traveling etc.,
Any ways.. good luck..

hi there...
Anyways, i would just like to answer your question about how to make the business travel be more attractive. First, you should have a tour guide map especially if you are a first timer in that city. It is much easier to go around the city if you have a map with you. Next is, if you don't know their language or it is foreign from you, try learning the basic as to create a good harmonious relationship with them. And it would add a plus factor for them to know that you exerted effort to learn their language. Try knowing their culture, the people, their arts and anything that would fancy you. Try to forsee the possible things that will happen during your stay there. Beforehand, bring only the things that you will use. So, it will be convenient for you. Your visa, passport and any important things should be ready days before the flight. And when you reach your destination, breathe some fresh air..it would help a lot. Feel comfortable so you won't feel alienated. Smile...with everyone you meet. it's priceless and would make the one you smiled upon feels great. When you feel homesick, why not try unwinding yourself. Buy your wife/husband something that would make her feel so special. Surprise your nanny with a dress or your daughter with a pony. There are many places you could go if you just explore yourself while in other country. Just a sip of wine in an adjacent restaurant across the hotel would really feel good. You just have to make yourself at ease..Next is, if you haven't exchange your money yet in their currency, don't exchange somewhere along the airport. Do it somewhere else maybe in a market area. Their exchange of money isn't that higher there unlike in the airport. Lastly, feel free to explore yourself and be ready always. Expect the unexpected.
