Business travel will increase despite a weak economy and the unfavorable tax provisions recently signed by President Clinton, according to a poll of corporate travel managers.

Robert Levaro, vice president of commercial card products for Visa International, said the economy and legislation represented difficult obstacles, but added: "This research clearly indicates they will not hinder further growth."
