CWT research reveals business travelers are more health-conscious during 
trips 
 
38% eat healthier, 26% work out more, and only 7% do not maintain their 
wellness regimes 
 
Minneapolis, 20 August 2019: Research by CWT, the B2B4E travel management 
platform, shows that awareness of maintaining healthy eating habits is 
growing momentum amongst business travelers. Overall 38% of business 
travelers eat healthier while on the road. Asia Pacific travelers are the 
most likely to eat healthier when traveling for business (46%) compared to 
travelers in Americas (35%) and Europe (29%). 
 
"Maintaining healthy habits while traveling is nearing the top of the 
priority list for travelers around the world," said Niklas Andréen, CWT's 
Chief Traveler Experience Officer. "At the end of the day, being in tune 
with what matters to your employees is indispensable for retaining and 
attracting the best talent." 
 
   Travelers in Asia Pacific are likely to work out more (33%) while abroad, 
  compared to travelers in Americas (23%) and Europe (21%). On the flipside, 
     Europe business travelers are less likely to work out while on the road 
            (48%) vs. travelers in Americas (38%) and Asia Pacific (32%). 
 
        Meanwhile, only 7% of travelers do not adhere to health and wellness 
 routines when traveling. The percentage is higher among Europeans (10%) and 
     Americans (8%), while travelers in Asia Pacific are the least likely to 
            steer away from their wellness routines (3%). 
 
Since 2017, maintaining health and wellness routines while on the road has 
become an increasing priority for travelers. Across all regions, business 
travelers are striving to achieve their health and wellness routines 
regardless of where they are in the world.

most common way for business travelers to adhere to their health and 
wellness routines (49%), followed by hotel swimming pool (40%), and in-room 
hotel equipment such as yoga mats and stationary bikes (27%).
