The term "business traveler" refers to individuals who are away from home for a short or extended period of time, primarily for work-related purposes. This could include employees of companies who need to travel for meetings, conferences, training sessions, client visits, or other business activities that require them to be out of town. Business travelers may also include self-employed individuals, consultants, and freelancers who are working on a project in another city or country, and must therefore spend time away from home for their work. The term encompasses all types of business people who need to travel regularly as part of their job responsibilities.
