Survey predicts growth in biz travel.

"This is confirmation of what we've been seeing since the start of 2004. It's attributable to improving business conditions," said Jack O'Neill, chief operating officer for Carlson Wagonlit Travel North America.
The survey of 1,200 business travelers and 300 travel managers in the United States and Canada found that 34 percent expect to spend more on travel in 2005, while about 49 percent expect no change from the previous year.
In addition, 52 percent of business travelers said they do the majority of their business travel booking online and 89 percent expect that in five years virtually all bookings will be completed online.
