The differences when comparing countries are also significant: a travel manager in the U.S.A. attends to an average of 447 travelers – a much higher number than his colleague in Western Europe (327). In Latin America (215), Southern Europe (199), South Africa (185) and Asia Pacific (111), this ratio is considerably lower. Read more
