Global Business Travel Industry Spending Expected to Hit Record $1.48 Trillion in 2024.

July 22,2024

Boosted by economic stability, pent-up demand and recovery momentum, spending is projected to surpass $2 trillion by 2028 according to the latest GBTA Business Travel Index Report

The business travel industry has proven itself resilient as it leaves the global pandemic behind and moves into a new era of post-pandemic stabilization. The forecast for 2024 predicts global business travel spending will reach $1.48 trillion USD by the end of the year, an increase on 2019 spending which was a previous record at $1.43 trillion. Additionally, by 2028, it is projected to exceed $2.0 trillion, highlighting a robust path ahead for the business travel sector in terms of spending.
