The global business travel industry, often seen as a bellwether for global business expansion, is showing a much faster rebound than expected just a year ago, according to the most recent Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Business Travel Index™ Outlook.

Projections now indicate that global business travel is on track to surpass its pre-pandemic spending level of $1.4 trillion by 2024, and it is further expected to grow significantly for years to come, reaching close to $1.8 trillion by 2027. These insights from GBTA suggest that the tide is turning, pointing towards an era of robust global expansion in the business world. 

One of the critical components of any successful business expansion is global hiring. In the first installment of this series on global talent acquisition, we explored the growing demand for specialized roles and the benefits of establishing a global workforce. Next, we touched upon the impending challenges that companies will encounter as they venture into the realm of global hiring.
