Corporate business travel is a $274 billion industry with an estimated 30 to 40 million business travelers in the US. Nearly 30% of American working adults who travel for business are at higher risk for poor health issues like cancer due to the stresses of travel. Travelers get less sleep than non-travelers, lowering productivity and increasing health risks. The financial costs to companies include over $500 million annually in lost productivity due to jet lag and an estimated $226,000 per year per employee in costs from travel-related stress. While corporate wellness programs focus on employees' normal working conditions, travel wellness programs address the unique physical and mental stresses of business travel.
