2022 was the year that corporate travel in New Zealand roared back to life and 2023 demand is shaping up to be supercharged. It will also be a year for travel buyers to turn to their TMCs to get set for success.
If our Year in Review stats are anything to go by, 2022 was the year the business travel industry got its mojo back.
With all the key performance stats pointing in the right direction, the year-on-year growth for Flight Centre Travel Group’s NZ corporate operation including Corporate Traveller, FCM and Stage and Screen, was impressive.
Driven by the pent-up demand to reconnect and revitalise relationships, the Kiwi corporate sector couldn’t wait to get back in the air for business with international bookings up a whopping 419% and trans-Tasman up 209% on 2021.
The return to travel across the sector was as welcome as it was wonderful. Buckle up because we know it’s only going to get busier in 2023!
