The larger a company, the more staff members are supported by each travel manager. On an international average, travel managers in small companies are responsible for 31 traveling staff members. In medium-sized companies, they tend 101 staff members and 351 travelers in large corporations. This results in a total average of 100 staff members per travel manager. 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.
