I would like to find out the average cost savings achieved of using general aviation business travel over the cost of using commercial airlines or even travel by vehicle. I would also love to understand the average distances that most business are traveling for business meetings. Would anyone be willing to help answer these questions as a research paper is put together?
Something that occurs to me, in relation to your second sentence, is how business travel is operationalised. John Swarbrooke and Susan Horner, in their widely-cited 2001 book Business Travel and Tourism, include commuting and taking goods to market as business travel.
Hey Daniel,
Here are some links that may be useful:

Have a great day!

Business travel could be put into three categories: Administrative/Legal, Promotional and Sales. The requirement of each category and the rank of the manager who need to travel differs. The book "Business Travel and Tourism" throws some light on this aspect.
@Daniel Doss Thank you for the two links. The information contained there is extremely helpful to this research project.
@Arun Aditya Sahay Thank you for the suggestion of this book. Someone else suggested this when I started my project in class. I will have to go pull this book and take a look at it and I will also look at the three categories for the business travel and maybe work that into the project and include that as part of the break down on where the cost is.
@Graham Busby Thank you for your suggestion of the book. I believe all of this information will be extremely helpful over the next year as I pull all of the work together and put it into this research project that I hope to complete by the time I graduate next April with my Bachelors degree in Aeronautics. I hope that my work will be complete enough to actually look at having it published in some aviation related journals.
