Global Business Travel Trends in 2025
Business travel spending is regarded as a vital indicator of business growth, with business travellers accounting for 50% of global airline revenues. As one of the world’s foremost online travel agencies, Trip.com Group plays a significant role in this domain. Within the Group are several prominent travel technology companies in Europe, including Travelfusion, Skyscanner and Travix.
Delving into the key business travel trends in Asia and the potential implications for Hong Kong companies engaging in business in Europe, Sherwin Dai, GM of Greater China, Corporate Travel – Trip.Biz, Ctrip International Travel (Hong Kong) Ltd, spoke at the Chamber’s Europe Committee meeting on 21 May.
Dai predicted a steady growth in business travel spending worldwide over the next three to five years, with China and the United States emerging as the largest markets. The primary purpose of travel among European business travellers is attending seminars or training, followed by conventions and conferences.
As the super-connector between China and the world, Hong Kong possesses the right talent, skills, and knowledge to facilitate the global expansion of mainland companies, presenting numerous opportunities for local firms, Dai added.
