Top Global Cities for Business Travel
Four of the top fifteen most-visited cities in the world for business travelers are in the United States (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Boston). Two of the top fifteen most-visited cities in the world for business travelers are in Europe (London and Paris). Below is an explanation of how we determined these cities to be the top 20 most-visited cities for business travelers globally, followed by the list of those top 20 cities.
METHODOLOGY:
We determined the top 20 most-visited cities for business travelers globally by using this data research report published by industry source Egencia, which is Expedia's corporate travel company. The report, which was published in December 2018, was based on "data [that] capture[d] flight booking and reservation trends from small, mid-cap and multinational companies in more than 60 countries between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2018." Thus, this report is comprehensive, global, and based on nearly five years of corporate travel data, making it an exceptionally credible source. Accordingly, the cities listed below are the most-visited ones for business purposes, as determined by the number of business flights and business reservations made.
