    US State Department Issues Level 2 Travel Advisory for Mainland China: Exercise Increased Caution

    The US State Department issued a Level 2 travel advisory for mainland China, urging increased caution due to arbitrary enforcement of local laws, exit bans without fair and transparent process, and risk of unjust arrest or detention.

Groups that may be targeted include US citizens of Chinese heritage or origin, those involved in business disputes, those affiliated with US law enforcement, military or intelligence, and those on US government-funded progr…

    Meeting the Business Travel & Spend Management Challenges of 2023

    An SAP Concur blog post says travel and spending are rebounding toward pre-pandemic levels. In 2022 SAP Concur processed 192 million expense reports, up 42% over 2021, and nearly 43 million travel transactions, up 110% year over year. But the spending mix has shifted: public transportation as an expense category fell from as much as 30% pre-pandemic to 10%, with more travelers opting for rental cars and spending on mileage, parking and tolls; the 'other' category rose from 4% in 2019 to as high as 25% in 2021 and remains a top-three category. Health and safety considerations and remote and hybrid work have added complexity, requiring new policies, processes and oversight.
