5 Reasons To Cancel A Business Trip

Sometimes it makes sense to cancel a business trip. There are personal reasons for staying put, such as jury duty, a death in the family or a business emergency. They're perfectly valid grounds for canceling, but it's difficult to know how often they're used because there are no reliable surveys on the subject.

The criteria for canceling are the ones that weigh the needs of your business against personal circumstances, finances and the conditions at your destination. This paper tells you how to decide whether the trip you've planned no longer makes sense.
