A January 2021 study analyzed the share of planned domestic business trips replaced by virtual meetings due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the United Kingdom. As of January 2021, 44 percent of surveyed businesses stated to have replaced all domestic business trips with virtual meetings during the pandemic. In contrast, only seven percent of the survey sample claimed that virtual meetings were not used as an alternative to domestic business travel.

*The survey included 96 small businesses, 146 medium businesses, and 223 large businesses.
The source specified business sizes as follows: small (0-49 employees), medium (50-249 employees), large (250+ employees).
The source defined domestic business trips as follows: 'Any journey made within the UK for business purposes, including domestic travel to international airports/ports, but excluding commuting, and excluding overseas travel'.
Percentage points exceeding 100 percent/missing to 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
