Paris, Tokyo Most Expensive: The typical business traveler staying in a first-class hotel and eating in business-class restaurants for a month would find that Paris and Tokyo cost the most money, a private survey said. A monthlong stay in Paris would cost $7,260, with Tokyo close behind at $7,185, according to the meal and lodging survey by travel consultant Runzheimer International. Living costs in other major cities are considerably less for the businessman or woman on the move--a month’s stay in Hong Kong runs up a bill of $5,670, London $5,925, and Geneva, $5,115. Runzheimer said costs can be roughly halved by putting employees up in furnished rental apartments complete with a maid and a cook to serve half their meals at their home away from home.
