Business Travel by the Numbers
GBTA U.S. Economic Impact Study – Read the Report
Business travel is a core contributor to the U.S. economy, supporting jobs, generating tax revenue, and driving economic activity across industries and regions. The recently released GBTA U.S. Economic Impact Study provides a data-backed view of that impact, including national trends and state-level insights that show how business travel contributes to local economies across the country.
Here’s a snapshot of the data in the report:
In 2024, business travel supported 6.7 million jobs across the U.S., spanning direct employment in travel-related sectors, supply chain roles, and jobs supported through re-spending of wages. Altogether, 1 in every 24 U.S. jobs was linked to business travel activity, reinforcing its importance as a pillar of the American workforce, including:
-
3.7 million direct jobs (e.g., travel-related industries)
-
1.2 million indirect jobs (e.g., related supply chains)
-
1.8 million induced jobs (e.g., the re-spending of wages)
Additionally, in 2024 the sector also generated $366.4 billion in wages, supporting U.S. workers across hospitality, transportation, professional services sectors and beyond.
