GBTA Ladders Workgroup Research

Hello Traveler!

Thank you for being part of this research. We are looking to hear from people across the world who travel for work, whether you travel once or 50 times per year. For the purposes of this survey, work trips qualify as any business travel outside of your primary work city.

This survey is being conducted as part of a workgroup study with the GBTA Ladders mentorship and education program, a non-profit organization.

It should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.

All feedback you provide will be completely confidential. Should you wish to see the findings once they are published, you will have the ability to provide contact information at the end of the survey.
