"Some business travellers are desperate to get back over the pond.
"We are in a relationship business and travelling is necessary to meet clients, to win deals," said Anthony Diamandakis, Citi's co-global head of Global Asset Managers.
For smaller, non-financial businesses too, travel is essential for trade.
"In my experience of the USA, it's a people market - deals get done face to face, with a handshake and looking into each other's eyes," Tony Kinsella, chief executive of UK-based materials development and testing company Lucideon, said.
The United States is allowing fully-vaccinated Britons and Europeans to enter from Monday, fully re-opening to two-way traffic for the first time since the pandemic started.
"USA, here we come," said Kinsella, who already has his tickets booked.
I guess not long till we see a return of face to face meetings as they beat ZOOM or other means of doing business, a handshake seals the deal, connections are often lost and that cable line might get damaged during a storm in the uk or signal might not be that good sometimes!! Or some may spy online!!! DYOR.
