13 What is the BTI? The BTI is derived from total Business
Travel Spending and is a statistical indicator of the health of the
overall U.S. economy. An index base year of 2005 was chosen for the
BTI for three reasons: It is relatively recent and reflects similar
market conditions. 2005 represents neither the top of an expansion
nor the trench of a recession. The U.S. Government has chose 2005
as the base year for many of its high profile economic releases.
Specifically, the GBTA BTI is set equal to 100 in 2005 Q2.
