CNN Business Traveller is back on CNN International (DStv 401) as a monthly show, again presented by Richard Quest, as well as business travel news correspondent, Ayesha Durgahee.
CNN Business Traveller, which had its first ''new'' episode in the middle of March, will be a monthly show with a new episode that can be seen in the middle of each month. The show looks at unlocking value, giving tips and insights and sharing information with business travellers who are doing business on the road and in hotels and how to travel and stay better.
CNN International says CNN Business Traveller returns ''in a harsh, more demanding environment to reflect the size, importance and shifting trends of an industry that touches just about every aspect of the global economy".
Richard Quest will present CNN Business Traveller monthly from hotels, airports and cities around the world, bringing his detailed knowledge of surviving out of a suitcase on the world's corporate highways and byways. "This is a fascinating industry – we look forward to the year ahead on the road", says Matt Percival, the executive editor of CNN International.
In the second episode of CNN Business Traveller on Saturday 14 April at 08:30 (South African time) (repeats on Sunday 15 April 05:00; Saturday 5 May 14:30; Sunday 6 May 08:30; Monday 7 May 05:00) looks at hotels.
The trends of today show a changing role for hotels, as travellers demonstrate a thirst for more advanced technology. As the ubiquity of laptops and gadgets spells demise for the business centre, CNN Business Traveller looks at the rise of the lobby and its 21st century guise as a place of work, play and relaxation, not just a portal for coming and going.
