When it comes to creature comforts men and women have different agendas for business travellers, according to a new business travel survey.

For male business travellers the focus was on technology – 24 per cent of men opted for internet access as their top business travel priority, compared to just 11 per cent of women, says the Quest Serviced Apartments Business Travel Survey. Twice as many men as women also favoured a good gym workout when away from home for work. For female travellers safety and security was the most important feature for 60 per cent, while just over a third of men (36%) considered friendly staff and good service as their top priority. But when it comes to picking a home comfort when travelling for work the sexes were firmly in agreement – it seems for both men and women nothing beats a great pillow to make you feel at home when away from your loved ones.
