Corporate Travel Trends 2023

Business travel is continuing its recovery. There is an increased demand for air travel as the borders of almost all countries have reopened completely. Corporate Travelers are hitting the road for meetings and conferences and sales presentations, etc. As corporate travelers once again look for service providers who can add value to their offerings with additional amenities, drinks, extra legroom, and other inclusions and services, DMCFinder helps you take a look at the top corporate travel trends in 2023 to keep you guided.

1. Bleisure: Mixing business with leisure

This proves to be one of the most significant outcomes of the demographic shift in corporate travel. As the workforce becomes younger, more employees now are looking to do more than work during their trips away from the office. Corporate travelers are most likely to take a longer trip for rest, seek adventure, or an opportunity to visit friends and family.

2. “Hybridised” events on a global scale

Events still prove to be the go-to way of networking for salespeople. Hybrid events encourage business people from all over the world to take part and allow them to get a taste of what it would be like for future attendance – online and in-person.

3. Unconventional accommodations are in

Business travelers become more interested in staying at smaller boutique hotels and home-like accommodations other than the traditional chain hotels. For most corporate travelers, this provides them opportunities for exploring the destination in new ways.

4. Corporate travel policies be more flexible

The need for more varied booking options, providing better availability and allowing more property and rate options, requires corporate travel policies to become more flexible. Corporate travelers are more likely to seek channels other than those employer-approved ones when making bookings.

5. Travel for networks

Corporate individuals are seeking events with a powerful mix of networking and content which can facilitate networking, skills development, and recruitment.
