Markets including China, Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, and Singapore have contributed to the growth. Companies have expanded travel budgets as they pursue deals and expansion across the region.
The rebound reflects the strength of the region’s economies and the density of its business hubs. Conferences, trade shows, and corporate meetings have fuelled much of the demand.
Airlines, hotels, and venues have benefited from the increase in corporate travel. The spending supports a wide range of industries tied to business tourism.
