Positive attitudes toward business travel experienced a double-digit surge from February to April 2022, according to research from the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), with responding companies saying they will return to 79% of their pre-pandemic spending levels by the end of 2023. Contributing to this surge is a new era of workplace flexibility that allows business travel to take on more flexible forms – namely “bleisure” travel and “workcations,” both of which empower employees to get out and explore for themselves while fulfilling their professional responsibilities.
