As the world becomes increasingly borderless, more and more companies are conducting their business across state lines and seas. And business travel is central to that. Employees have to be able to travel and represent their companies as they transact overseas. Here are some statistics that the experts at CrewFacilities.com, a travel management company with operations across the U.S., Canada and Mexico thought you needed to know.
