Hong Kong has been named the most expensive location in Asia for business travelers — for the second year in a row, according to a new report.
ECA International’s latest Daily Rates research ranked countries based on costs for short trip expenses: four-star hotel rooms, meals, laundry, alcoholic and soft drinks, journeys by taxi and incidental costs.
The research aims to help organizations anticipate the cost of business trips and short-term assignments, the data company said.
A business trip now costs an average of $520 a day in Hong Kong, which is also ranked the 16th most expensive location for business travel in the world.
