Attitudes to intercity travel substitution

Elliot M. Gold

Telecommunications Policy, 1979, vol. 3, issue 2, 88-104

Abstract: Potential intercity travel reduction by the substitution of teleconferencing is examined by analysing studies of business travellers' attitudes towards teleconferencing and the experience of organizations with operational teleconferencing systems. Important findings are cited, but neither the attitudes nor operational experience indicate a trend towards a travel reduction. It seems that teleconferencing first needs to be used as a supplemental form of communication before being accepted as a viable substitution for intercity business travel.
