Five Essential Business Travel Trends: Highlights from GBTA Research

This year, business travel has roared back – exceeding pre-COVID levels for the first time. What’s more impressive than the recovery is the pace of change. GBTA Research has tracked industry trends and hot topics over the course of the year. Join us as we share the five “essential” business travel trends that industry professionals need to know as they gear up for 2025.
Business travel roars back: How much money is spent on business travel worldwide? What’s the forecast for next year? Which markets are leading the recovery?

Changing travel patterns: Travel patterns continue to evolve. Are employees taking longer trips? Are they taking fewer day trips? Are they engaging in more or less “premium” travel? Are they extending work trips for vacation?
Current technologies: Which technologies do travel programs use? Which technologies do hotels use?
Emerging technologies: How do industry professionals feel about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential impact on the industry?

Diversity and inclusion: What percentage of industry professionals are women and minorities? How well are women and minorities represented at the executive level?
