Every quarter GBTA looks at economic trends and business spending to see where the business travel industry is headed. Our latest report, 2013 Q3 GBTA BTI™ Outlook – United States, finds that business travel spending is expected to rise across all categories of business travel in 2014.

Check out the video below for more on what to expect through the rest of this year and into 2014. Here’s a quick preview: The US GBTA BTI™ – a proprietary index of business travel activity – is poised to surpass its highest level since we created the index by the end of 2014.

While the forecast is very promising, the current government shutdown and threat of default have certainly put a damper on business travel industry sentiment.
