U.S. business travel spending is anticipated to reach $538.5 billion in 2024, according to figures released by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) in a report published in June 2026. This level of expenditure reflects a robust demand for corporate travel across the United States.
Alongside the direct spending, the overall economic impact linked to business travel within the country is estimated to surpass $623 billion. These figures underscore the substantial contribution business travel continues to make to the U.S. economy.
