The introduction of Best Western Business Plus comes at an important time, as the recession strains business travelers' wallets.

"In the current environment, business travelers want simplicity and no surprises," he said. "With the Business Plus program, they'll always receive the business essentials without being hit with extra hidden fees upon check out."
