2017 to 2021 Travel Expenses Processing Market Outlook Compared to 2022 to 2032 Forecast

Travelling is a popular stress-busting activity all around the world and new innovations, offers and places to explore are making tourism a very successful sector. Travelling to new regions is not just a leisure or a free time activity, many corporate companies are sending employees for important meetings and seminars. At this time, the company covers the expenses. The amenities are provided to employee travelling till he/she returns, and include multiple factors.

Such corporate travel was slow and halted in 2019-20, as the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, and travelling was restricted in many regions. As businesses and offices were closed, there was no travel for business. As the pandemic is coming to an end and restrictions are removed, corporate travel is showing emergence in a number of regions.

‘Bleisure’ is trending in evolved business tourism sector

As the pandemic started, public gatherings and travel were temporarily halted by the government, resulting closure of offices. To continue the office work, organisations initiated work from home, providing necessary equipment and facilities to employees. Now, the pandemic is over and offices are ready to be fully operational. But employees are missing the comfort of working from home. To make sure employees attend important meetings and get work done effectively, organisations are also ready to provide amenities to employees.

Because of these changes in the habits of travellers, there is the emergence of ‘Bleisure’, a business tour type including leisure for employees. Travellers are expecting amenities like connectivity and comfortable travelling medium, along with expenses for accommodation and fares, and sometimes food. Some organisations also provide digital tools for better, faster and safe business travel.

New Countries are emerging as a potential market for Business Travel

Business travel is continuously growing after the COVID pandemic, but some countries are still having restrictions on international travel. This is giving new countries chance to rise as business tourism countries. In addition to offering business visits, nations like Indonesia and India rank among the highest spenders. There is a significant rise in MICE tours in Asia, recording a great amount of growth due to the use of intercity transport mediums. Businesses in Asian countries are also spending employees on business trips to other countries, impacting the overall segment market. Despite these facts, the USA is and will be the top country to be spending on and organize business travels.

COVID restriction and changed work lifestyle are affecting business travel around the world

As corporate companies and businesses are reopening, business travel is also starting to revive. But business travel is not the same as it was before the pandemic. There are certain changes, which are necessary to make sure travellers are safe during the tour. These are some precautions and rules travellers have to follow while travelling.

As travel has started all around the world, there are many problems it will face before its complete recovery. Employees are now comfortable with virtual meetings, instead of in-person meetings. They are not ready to travel for work and use personal safety and well-being as an excuse to avoid it. Many organisations are also considering virtual meetings as an alternative to travel to different cities for meetings and seminars, which will save capital spent on travelling and accommodation, the important meetings being an exception.
