Professionals in the business travel industry look forward to an engaged and productive year, according to the first Business Travel Outlook Poll of 2025, released yesterday by the Global Business Travel Association. While shifting economic conditions, geopolitical concerns and technology-driven changes continue to be areas of uncertainty, the poll results show an overall positive industry trajectory with almost half (48%) of travel buyers expecting their companies to take more business trips in 2025, and nearly 20% more (57%) anticipating increased travel spending this year.

Other findings around NDC, technology and AI integration, corporate sustainability commitments, workforce and hiring challenges, and developments in workplace expectations point to an innovative and inclusive industry that continues to advance and adapt.
