Business travel forecast 2024: What's in store for your journeys?
While business travel is still recovering, demand remains high. Travel costs are up about 9% due to inflation, load shedding in South Africa, global conflicts and high fuel prices.
The good news for business trips? Bonnie predicts price stability for corporate travel. Expect to see more flight options, hotel rooms and rental cars available to meet the needs of the higher travel volumes. This surge in availability might just stir up some healthy competition, potentially offering a welcome break on price increases.
