) The red articles are not correct. The only grammar problem I see is " that to please look after" I would write, "A gentle reminder to all employees: Please look after personal and company assets when travelling on company business, or when at client sites. [The] company insurance doesn't cover all losses, especially during business travel.

Simply, "travel" is not countable as you have used it.

Business travel is more hectic than leisure travel, not "The business travel."

Travel is a rather tricky word. It does not take the indefinite article (a/an) but it can be used in the plural. John Steinbeck wrote a book entitled Travels With Charley. Also, there is another book called Gulliver's Travels.

Absolutely - that's why I said "as you have used it."

But even so (and I did enjoy reading Gulliver's Travels) you would not refer to "The travel when he met those horse people" or "The travel when he was on that floating island."
