'travel'
Hi,
Please have a look at this:
"The action aimed at conserving cash were taking hold quickly. Travel was curtailed sharly, internal meetings were canceled, and consultants and contractors were eliminated when possible"
What does 'travel' in that paragragh mean? does it mean staff's going to places for entertainment/pleasure? or does it mean travelling in general (going to places)? if the latter is right, then... how can they curtail travel? (I mean, they have to because it's necesary, right?)
Many thanks,
Nessie.

As Mr. W says, there are many ways to curtail business travel.
For example, a company may send only one person to a conference, instead of a whole group of people. They may hold video conferences instead of face-to-face conferences. The salesmen may combine several trips into one trip, or make trips to their customers less frequently. If they have training classes, they might hold them loca
