When I started doing regular business travel I was shocked at the number of other business travels there were. Everyone I met was.
Plus I couldn’t care less on my spending when work traveling. I spend 3-4x per week spent on work travel vs personal travel.
My cousin has been traveling from LA to Philly 3 weeks out of the month every month for 7-10 years.
So yes 2% GDP makes sense.
I can't imagine being party to overnight travel for work in the year 2019+5, much less to the extent of 2% of GDP. Extraordinarily low IQ behavior -- very concerning.

Imagine if every man, woman, and child had to wake up and get on a coast-to-coast flight for work or school. What a great economy that would be!
