The recovery of business travel is still ongoing. The demand for air travel has soared as practically all nations’ borders have been fully restored. Corporate travelers are taking to the road for sales presentations, conferences, and other events. We assist you in looking at the top corporate travel trends for 2023 to keep you informed as business travelers once again search for service providers who may enhance their offers with more amenities, drinks, extra legroom, and other products and services.
1. Bleisure: Mixing business with leisure
This turns out to be one of the most important effects of the demographic change in business travel. More workers are looking to pursue other things than work during their time away from the workplace as the workforce ages. Corporate travelers are more likely to opt for longer journeys in order to rest, seek adventure, or take advantage of the chance to see friends and family.
2. “Hybridised” events on a global scale
The best approach for salesmen to network is still at events. Hybrid events attract businesspeople from over the globe and give them a taste of what it would be like to attend in the future, both online and in person.
3. Unconventional accommodations are in
Business travelers become more interested in staying at smaller boutique hotels and home-like accommodations other than the traditional chain hotels. For most corporate travelers, this provides them opportunities for exploring the destination in new ways.
4. Corporate travel policies be more flexible
The need for more varied booking options, providing better availability and allowing more property and rate options, requires corporate travel policies to become more flexible. Corporate travelers are more likely to seek channels other than those employer-approved ones when making bookings.
5. Travel for networks
Corporate individuals are seeking events with a powerful mix of networking and content which can facilitate networking, skills development, and recruitment.
