Australian Business Traveller (www.AusBT.com.au) is is a recently-launched website dedicated to the estimated 2.5 million Australians fly interstate or internationally for business each year, and it’s looking for a journalist to join the editorial team.

Editor David Flynn – a former editor and journalist with The Sydney Morning Herald and ACP Magazines – explains that as a frequent business traveller himself, he saw the need for an editorially-based site with news, reviews and information to serve the largely ignored large non-leisure segment of the Australian travel market.

“Australia has 2.5 million business travellers who fly interstate or internationally each year, according to Roy Morgan Research, and their needs are often very different to holiday tourists”, Flynn explains.

“But there’s no way to reach them because all the current travel publications and Web sites target the leisure or holiday market. Australian Business Traveller fills that gap.” Australian Business Traveller (www.AusBT.com.au) is an independent venture with no ties to any airline or travel booking company.

The site’s content includes news and features on domestic and international flights, hotels and travel technology plus tips, strategies and insight for business travellers.
