Erdos & Morgan and Beta Research Announce
Their Biennial Study of Business & Leisure Travel Markets

The study focuses on the findings as to who the business and leisure travelers are; where and why they are going on domestic or international trips; and what current travel patterns and trends hold for the future of American travelers. Additionally, the study contains information on readership of more than 90 magazines, nearly a dozen daily and Sunday newspapers and viewership of more than 40 cable television channels. It also addresses the factors that influence choice in decisions for travel arrangements regarding transportation, lodging and car rentals.

The sample for this survey is comprised of a nationally representative sample of adults, 18 years or older, living within the 48 contiguous United States (including Washington, D.C.). To qualify for inclusion, the adult must live in a household with an income of $50,000 or more and have traveled for vacation/leisure/personal and/or business reasons in the past three years.

The study was fielded during the week of April 17th, 2006 to 15,000 qualified households randomly drawn on a state-by-state basis to replicate the adult population living in households with incomes of $50,000 or more. Six key variables are held constant when drawing the sample; namely, sex, geographic division, age of head of household, household size, household income, market size.

A partial summary of the key findings are as follows:
