The bad news is that the average cost of a U.S. business trip — including airfare, lodging and car rental costs — will rise six percent in 2008 to $1,110, while the average cost of an international business trip will rise nearly seven percent to $3,171. These projected increases in travel costs are likely to far outpace general inflation, which the National Association for Business Economics forecasts will be about 2.3 percent in 2008.
