Recommendation

The pandemic forced people to get comfortable doing business primarily online, using digital communication tools. Some pandemic business practices will be worth keeping, and a major reduction in business travel will be one of them. Now that everyone is comfortable using Zoom, will business travel really be necessary postpandemic? Emissions are down and people are spending more time at home and with their families. Aren’t these changes worth saving? New York Magazine’s Pivot podcast hosts Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway think so.

Take-Aways

  • Premature travel could facilitate the proliferation of dangerous COVID-19 variants. If a vaccine-resistant strain gains traction, it could be catastrophic.
  • The pandemic has forever changed the business travel industry and adjacent businesses like Airbnb and professional public speaking.
  • The airline industry will have to come up with more resilient configurations.
