 Global business travel spending to reach $1.8trln by 2027

Industry report claims business travel spending will hit pre-pandemic levels of $1.4trln in 2024

The global business travel industry is rebounding at a more accelerated rate than earlier forecasted, with spending to grow to nearly $1.8 trillion by 2027, fuelled largely by favorable economic conditions.

Findings of the 2023 GBTA Business Travel Index Outlook – Annual Global Report and Forecast further revealed that business travel spending would surpass its pre-pandemic level of $1.4 trillion by 2024, boosted by an acceleration in the recovery process since COVID-19.

Emerging Europe continued to lag in its recovery, challenged by the war in the Ukraine, with Asia Pacific emerging as the big laggard last year given the delayed reopening of the Chinese economy.

Chinese business travel spending fell 4.6% last year, dropping China down to the second position in the business travel market in the world for the first time since 2014. However, China is expected to regain its top spot by the end of 2023 as travel restrictions lift.

 Registrations for WISE bootcamps are now open

Jazz, Pakistan’s largest digital operator, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have launched the Women Initiative in Social Entrepreneurship (WISE) to promote women-led social innovation in Pakistan.

The WISE Bootcamps, registrations for which are open now, aim to empower 400 women social entrepreneurs across 12 cities of Pakistan with essential business knowledge and skills to manage sustainable social enterprises.

To strengthen the start-up ecosystem in Pakistan, in 2020, Jazz and UNDP partnered to launch SDG Bootcamps to promote social innovation and entrepreneurship by youth in Pakistan. The SDG Bootcamps engaged 401 participants, 40% of them being women entrepreneurs. The solutions addressed by these enterprises included climate action, health, and digital transformation.

Continuing the partnership – and with implementation through the School of Leadership Foundation (SoLF) – the WISE Bootcamps will focus on strengthening Pakistan's women social entrepreneurs.

“WISE is aimed at empowering Pakistani women by creating opportunities for financial and digital inclusion for the women and youth,” said Aamir Ibrahim, CEO Jazz. “This outcome resonates well with Jazz’s purpose of improving the lives and livelihoods of women in Pakistan through technology. We hope that women-led businesses in WISE will address unique challenges and create innovative solutions that positively impact their communities and beyond.”

“Digital space in Pakistan must be a place for gender equality, for social and economic empowerment and inclusion. Knowledge and skills of technology and innovative entrepreneurship are all part of this ecosystem. If we get it right, development indicators of inclusion and gender equality will achieve their positive trajectory,” remarked Samuel Rizk, UNDP’s Resident Representative to Pakistan.

Emphasizing innovation, WISE seeks enterprises that address at least one of the country's development challenges and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Aspiring social entrepreneurs across Pakistan can apply for registrations: http://bitly.ws/KIDR
