Many employees often need to travel domestically or overseas for work purposes. These days, the concept of ‘offshoring’ is becoming quite a common thing. Interestingly, in between everything, the US and Europe are holding their spot at the top business travel locations globally from Kerala. These international business destinations are mostly covered by techies from Kerala and a survey of Thiruvananthapuram’s IT firms states the numbers.
Techies From Kerala Often Travel To The US & Europe For Business Travel
A survey was conducted for the IT firms in Thiruvananthapuram in 2019, and the results state that the US, Canada, and Latin America are the most popular international business work trip destinations for employees working in the field of technology. They flew to different places of these international business travel destinations on around 5,695 work trips. The next places on this list are the UK and Europe.
V. Sreekumar is the secretary of the Group of Technologies Companies (G-Tech). He recently conducted a session at the recent summit of airlines in Thiruvananthapuram on the increase in the knowledge economy. During the session, he said that the US and Europe conduct a huge amount of international business travel by technocrats from Kerala. Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and West Asian countries are on the list too. In addition, V.
