2027 Global Business Travel Forecast

Discover the forces transforming business travel and event spending across air, hotel, and ground transportation. Gain actionable insights to help you make informed decisions and plan confidently for the year ahead. 

Business travel pricing has entered a new phase. After years of sharp swings, the picture is steadier, but steadier does not mean cheaper. 2026 was a high-cost year driven by major geo-political shifts and an energy crisis.

The GBTA and ALTOUR 2027 Global Business Travel Forecast draws on 18 months of pricing data projecting actionable insight through the rest of 2026 and into 2027.

What's Inside the Report?

Check out a few of the key highlights from the report

Bookings

AIR

 The most volatile category, with fares climbing through 2026 before growth to slow sharply in 2027 

Hotel - GBTA Pricing Forecast 2027

Hotel

A record construction pipeline is quietly holding rates in check, and where one region moves at fifteen times the pace of another.

M+E - GBTA Pricing Forecast 2027

Meetings & Events

Budgets are rising, but the extra money is buying the same event. 

Want to talk through what this means for your program?

The programs that hold up over the next two years are the ones that plan in detail. Break spend down by category, route, destination and event type. Set rate strategy region by region rather than off a global average. Build flexibility into contracts, and watch the fuel line and the currency line, because both move fast.
