Business travel confidence has surged to its highest level of 2026, rebounding sharply from the uncertainty that weighed on sentiment earlier this year, according to the In the Global Business Travel Association’s (GBTA) latest poll released this week.

Following a year marked by unprecedented energy-market disruption and rising operational costs, global business travel prices are expected to remain elevated through the rest of 2026 before beginning to moderate in 2027, with variations expected across regions. 

Global business travel spending is likely to surge in 2022 with full recovery expected in 2024 – ending the year on pace with the 2019 pre-pandemic spend of $1.4 trillion, and a year sooner than previously forecast, according to just released research findings.

This is despite business travel recovery in 2021 proceeding slower than expected.
