According to a study from the GTMC, business travellers are found to be opting for large chain hotels over sharing economy providers because of safety fears.

Data showed the 49 per cent of travellers cited safety as a key factor when choosing a hotel, behind location and price. While shared homes might be able to compete on price and location there is the ongoing issue of safety and connectivity. With both guaranteed at hotels, business travellers and company owners are assured of the facilities in place for effective working and more efficient business travel.

Connectivity is the key with complimentary wifi listed as the most important facility (96 per cent), followed by sufficient power sockets (95 per cent), breakfast (94 per cent) and suitable work or desk area (89 per cent)
