2023 Global Business Travel Forecast

CWT Meetings & Events pricing predictions and trends for the coming year

Prices and demand for meetings, events, and business travel are on the up; capacity and availability are going down. The cost-per-attendee for meetings and events this year is expected to be around 25% higher than in 2019, with an additional rise of 7 percent next year. Despite puzzling predictions, demand is back at full force with sustainability, traveler, and event experience ranking top of the priority list. The 2023 Forecast, produced in collaboration between CWT and GBTA, will give you useful insights to build and budget your travel and events program.

Since 2017

Day to day I manage a diverse range of events for international customers.

I answer RFPs and adapt my strategic recommendation depending on the client’s needs and values. In addition, I manage a team that supports the execution and I provide a post-event analysis and survey regarding the event. I am always on the lookout for the latest trends and venues but more importantly I identify all the services required to master and produce a magical event!
