Yes, abortion bans and anti-LGBTQ laws are complicating business travel. Many companies are increasingly concerned that their employees will face discrimination, persecution, or even violence when traveling to certain locations because of these laws. For example, an employee may not want to travel to a place that criminalizes homosexuality if they are LGBTQ, or an employee may feel uncomfortable bringing business to a country that makes abortion illegal. Companies may also avoid scheduling business trips to places that are hostile to certain kinds of minorities. Companies are having to take these new laws into account when planning business trips, and they are likely to face additional costs as a result.
