Multi-modal travel not being encouraged

TWO-THIRDS of business travellers say their employers do not currently encourage multi-modal travel, according to new research from Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

The research, based on an Opinium Research survey of 1,000 UK office workers who travel domestically for their job, showed younger Generation Z workers are especially keen on multi-modal travel, with 88% having made a multi-modal journey in the last 12 months, compared with only 57% among Baby Boomers.

Gen Z are keener to avoid using their own car for a business trip (60%), compared to 41% of Baby Boomers. Around 85% of all business travellers think they and/or their employers should be incentivised for multi-modal journeys, with tax breaks or similar rewards.
