All of the Indexes contain three years of data findings, listed quarterly. Each Index illustrates the following statistics:

Ovation utilizes this high-level analysis to identify trends and to benchmark individual client activity against carefully selected benchmark groups, representing over $400 million in annual air and hotel spend. The data serves as a resource in determining opportunities for strengthening clients' travel programs in such areas as travel policy adjustment, service enhancements and supplier negotiations.

"These benchmarking industries have unique travel habits and as our client base in the technology and biotech/healthcare industries has grown, we realized the time had come to create individual Indexes for these groups," noted Executive Vice President, Michael Steiner, about the launch of the two new Indexes. "For example, tech industry travelers tend to travel internationally more than the other Index industry groups, but they also spend less, on average, on their international air fare. At the same time there are similarities; for example, across all five of our Business Travel Indexes, we saw business travelers booking more Business Class in Q4 2018, while the percentage of both First Class and Economy Class bookings went down."

Ovation Travel Group is an independently owned, $1.3 billion travel management company with experienced travel consultants in more than 30 locations throughout the United States and United Kingdom. Ovation serves over 700 clients from industries including advertising, architecture, biotechnology, consulting firms, entertainment, financial services, healthcare, law, media, not for profit, technology and more.
