US Government Actions And The Impact On Business Travel In the wake of recent US government actions, a newly released GBTA poll of 900+ global business travel professionals reveals that nearly one-third of travel managers anticipate a significant decrease in business travel volume for 2025. This shift reflects the broader concerns and challenges that the industry is grappling with. 🌍 Other insights from the GBTA Poll include: • 44% of buyers don't foresee an impact on their business travel spending and volume, and 25% of travel suppliers share this sentiment regarding their revenue. • However, 29% of buyers expect a decline in volume, averaging a 21% decrease, and 27% predict a 20% decrease in spending. • 37% of travel suppliers and travel management company professionals anticipate an 18% decline in related revenue. • Among actions underway, up to 20% of respondents have already canceled, moved, or are considering pulling attendance from US-based meetings and events. • Optimism for 2025 has waned, with only 31% of respondents feeling positive about the future, compared to 67% in November 2024. “Traveling for work plays a vital role in supporting business growth, resilient economies, strong diplomatic ties, and valuable connections. Despite the strong outlook coming into 2025, our research shows increasing concerns and uncertainty due to recent US government actions,” said Suzanne Neufang, GBTA CEO. 📖 Read the full announcement here > https://lnkd.in/gGpwh5yR #BusinessTravel #GBTA #TravelIndustry #2025Outlook #USGovernmentActions #TravelManagers #TravelSuppliers #PollResults #IndustryInsights
