Ready to dive deep into the world's emerging markets? Unwrap the secrets of the untapped global hubs for 2024 with our handy guide and checklist.

Why is 2024 a pivotal year for SA business travel?

Tired of Zoom calls? Business travel is back. And by the end of 2024, we're talking pre-pandemic spending levels. Thanks for the heads-up, Deloitte.

Why emerging markets are the hotspot?

The call of emerging markets is strong: UAE, India, Singapore, China, and Nigeria are on the horizon. A note from Bonnie Smith, GM of Corporate Traveller: “It's time to explore these dynamic hubs.”
It's more than profits; it's about forging partnerships. Governments in these regions are championing industrialisation and rapid growth. Time for SA to join the party.
And, keep an eye on India - poised to be the world's third-largest economy by 2030, this is one opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Jet-setting like a pro:

Africa's star, SA, is launching direct flights to top emerging hubs: Beijing-Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and São-Paolo. And, whispers are we might soon be saying "Namaste" from a direct flight to Delhi/Mumbai.
