Pre pandemic 52% of hotel nights were booked by business travelers.

Where’d you get that number?

A site called Business Travel News

Even if that were true, hotel use is pretty evenly split between business travelers and tourists, both are "normal"

travelling around the globe for work is not normal unless you work for an airplane travel company.

You don't have to travel the globe to stay on a hotel wtf are you talking about? Lots of people go to different cities within the same country.

The globe? Sure. A region, or even a country? It's more common than you think. Sales, 'professionals' with conferences, and people that work for large companies that have people meeting.... these all move large amounts of folks around for work, and hotels are easy to book, invoice to the company, and are generally next to a conference center or have it in the same building.

It’s more common than you think.

This is based of your extensive knowledge of NOT being a business traveler?

  • 1.3 million people travel for work every day in the U.S. alone.
  • 40% of hotel guests are work travelers.
