Key Trends for June 2025: Positive Signs for Business Travel Recovery

Here’s a quick look at the main trends we’re seeing as we work closely with clients to help optimize travel programs in this changing landscape.

What’s Driving Recovery in June 2025

• Rising Travel Demand from Key Industries Sectors like technology, pharmaceuticals, and professional services are leading the way in business travel growth. With pent-up demand for face-to-face meetings, conferences, and client visits, bookings—especially for regional and domestic trips—are picking up rapidly.
• Balancing Virtual and In-Person Travel Many companies are sticking with a hybrid travel approach—mixing remote meetings with carefully targeted in-person trips. This allows for the focus relating to travel budgets on relationship-building and important negotiations, boosting overall travel value.
• Focus on Safety, Flexibility, and Traveler Experience Safety and flexibility remain top priorities. Businesses are investing in tools that offer real-time updates, easy booking changes, and strong duty-of-care support, helping travelers feel secure whether they’re on domestic or international trips.
• Technology Enhancing Efficiency and Cost Control AI-powered platforms, automated approvals, and data analytics are becoming essential. These tools improve spend visibility, ensure better policy compliance, and help manage disruptions proactively in a fluctuating market.

What This Means for Your Travel Program

• Stay flexible. Agile policies and strong supplier partnerships are key to adapting quickly to market changes.
• Use data to your advantage. Analytics help spot trends early and fine-tune your travel spend.
• Support your travelers. Prioritizing their experience encourages policy compliance and lowers risk.
