背景知识
在中国，商务旅行一般被称为“出差”。

有些时候，目的地的业务相关单位会有人员专门迎接。

一般出差前，公司会有一个较为明确的花费标准。

根据出差人员级别，也有相应的出差补助标准。

中国的公司大多派男职员去外地，一是商务旅行强度较大，二是男士出行较为安全、方便。

这也是中国企业在招聘需要经常出差的职位时喜欢聘用男性的原因。

现在中国有许多旅行社专门有针对商务旅行而设的部门，提供商务活动策划、商务旅行组合，做企业的商务助理。

而且借助现代资讯手段，采用旅行网站和800电话预定服务，将民用航空公司航线网络、银行金融信用产品、各地域旅游资源和汽车租赁服务公司等核心资源进行了很好的有效链接。

因此中国的商务旅行正变得越来越方便。

在较大的企业，一般有专门的人员负责安排商务旅行。
