Abstract
Currently air travel contributes approximately two percent of manmade greenhouse gases each year to the atmosphere and regardless of the introduction of fuel-saving technologies the increase in emissions from air travel is expected to match the forecasted three-fold growth in air travel by 2045[1]. This study investigates the behavior of 679 business travellers from Canada, Russia, Switzerland and the United States all of whom have travelled on business a minimum of three times in the year prior to the survey. Findings suggest that, irrespective of nationality, the majority of business travellers want to “do good” in protecting the environment, When it comes to contributing directly to sustainable travel, however, their behavior and levels of commitment are generally subdued with some distinct differences between nationalities.
