KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: adoption rate
The proportion of travellers or bookers within a corporate organization who follow an agreed corporate travel policy or adopt a self-booking tool. The entry notes that the word “rate” can misleadingly imply speed, but in practice it is a proportion, and it comments that “compliance” is often used for policy adherence; it also notes the term may be used more generally in travel contexts.
