NEW YORK — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Resonate, the only company that empowers brand marketers to act on why people make decisions, today revealed key motivations and values of business travelers. The hospitality industry must speak to financial stability, health & fitness, and affluence to both acquire and retain the projected 22.3M business travelers in the U.S. who make purchases based on these values and motivations.

“These consumer insights allow hospitality brands to better understand and engage their business travel customers”

When surveyed, business travelers reported financial stability and learning & knowledge as the most important influencers in their purchase process. Forty three percent considered gym memberships a necessity and 34% were currently on a diet. The Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, and W Hotels topped the list of appropriate and preferential business travel accommodations.

“These consumer insights allow hospitality brands to better understand and engage their business travel customers,” said Bryan Gernert, Resonate CEO. “Appealing to the motivations of business travelers not only provides a better experience for the travelers themselves, but ensures more strategic, more repeatable, and more profitable ROI tactics for travel brands, especially airlines and hotels.”

Business travelers are also more likely to be early adopters of apps, downloading them from companies to optimize such priorities as banking and weight loss tracking. Hobbies and interests like golfing and spas also reflect their affluent nature.

The Resonate platform encompasses over 4,500 demographic, psychographic, motivational, behavioral and appended attributes that are available for audience segmentation and real-time analysis. Travel-specific attributes include international vs. domestic travel, airline and hotel brand names, travel program enrollment and participation, timeframe of travel, preferred amenities, passenger and travel experience feedback, reasons for travelling, modes of purchase, and more.
