Business travel is back. In a poll conducted by the Global Business Travel Association in January 2024, 83% of travel buyers said their global business travel bookings had increased significantly (31%), moderately (37%) or slightly (15%) between 2022 and 2023. Businesses are prioritising face time with clients and colleagues around the country, and towards the end of 2023, Virgin Australia reported that small and medium enterprise business travellers had returned to the airline at pre-covid levels.
Vikash Raniga, a group finance executive with the workforce solutions provider Adcorp, is one of many business leaders back in the skies. Adcorp has offices in all Australia’s major cities, and Raniga is a frequent traveller between the organisation’s finance teams in Melbourne and Brisbane.
