Insights from 5,000 Voices: Business Travellers, Travel Managers, and CFOs (new this year)

Now in its seventh year, the Global Business Travel Survey—conducted in partnership with Wakefield Research—offers a comprehensive look at the trends, challenges, and perceptions shaping business travel today.

This year’s survey captures insights from over 5,000 travel stakeholders across 29 countries, including:

• 3,750 business travellers

• 700 travel managers

• 600 CFOs — included for the first time in 2025

• Cybersecurity threats impacting business travellers 

• Expense fraud in the age of AI

• Generational differences in business traveller behaviour—including how business and leisure travel habits differ

• Shifts in travel budgets, with some unexpected insights

• The growing pressures of managing travel—and areas where CFOs and business travellers agree improvements are needed
