\" Business travel is the mirror image of current economic events and business confidence. <\/em>\"According to Christophe Roth, Associate Director - BU Expertises Conseil, EPSA Group. According to the 15th edition of its barometer, unveiled in partnership with the IFTM trade show, the sector is not doing all that badly in a complex environment. There is good news, such as the end of double-digit price increases, and growth, albeit at a slower pace than in the past. soft<\/em> \"There were also some less positive factors, such as the political uncertainty in France and, more generally, an international context rocked by 61 conflicts. \" Not seen since 1945<\/em> \"according to Christophe Roth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against this backdrop, and despite this economic and geopolitical environment, the business travel industry set a new all-time record in 2025 after several years of post-COVID catch-up. Sales are estimated at \u20ac30.9 billion, higher than the \u20ac29.9 billion achieved in 2019. Growth is expected to reach 3.7 % in 2025, before a further rise to 2.2 % in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\" We sense a kind of resilience<\/em>says Clarisse Sounillac, Director of Global Customers at American Express GBT, who, along with other industry professionals, took part in the round table organised by ESPA at the IFTM trade fair. Companies are aware that business travel is necessary for their development. As a result, growth is there, despite this context, but it is lower than expected last year. Our customers are becoming more vigilant. <\/em>\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
