Since the situation began last Thursday demand for virtual meetings has been unprecedented. Across Europe week-on-week demand increased by 180% whilst on Monday calls to Regus call centres were 450% above the daily average.
"This crisis has moved video communication to the very front of business people's minds as a high quality, cost effective alternative to international business travel," said Mark Dixon CEO of Regus
"The whole experience has been a wake up call for businesses on their dependence on air travel, which let us not forget is costly on both tight budgets and effective working time as well as damaging to the environment. Our research suggests that VC can reduce business travel costs by up to 75% osts with negligible carbon emissions."
