A survey of foreign companies in six key industries in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou revealed some positive trends for business travel in 2008. The annual China "Business Travel Barometer," the third issued by AmEx, found that 53% of those surveyed expect to see an increase in business travel expenses next year. And while the number of companies using a travel agency to book their travel has increased to nearly 50% from 34% last year, at the same time, the number of companies using online tools to book travel via the Internet rose to 61% from 37% last year. The survey also found that 46% experienced an increase in their travel budgets this year.
