Predicted to be worth $749.55bn by 2033 (with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%)*, corporate travel is proving to be one of Asia Pacific’s most influential sectors. As a key driver of wider economic growth, local and international business owners are increasing investment in corporate travel across the region to realise their own business ambitions.
Supporting this growth, Business Travel Show Asia Pacific returns to Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, from 14-15 April 2026. Over 500 leading corporate travel buyers and suppliers are expected to come together for two days of sourcing, learning, networking and insights on the latest news, trends and research influencing one of the fastest growing corporate travel markets globally.
Highlights across the two-day programme include:
The Innovation Faceoff: An inspiring showcase of the cutting edge, breakthrough travel technologies set to disrupt the sector and redefine the travel management landscape. Entrants will pitch live at the show in a battle to win the coveted Business Travel Show Asia Pacific Innovation Faceoff Award.
Trip.Biz, a full-service travel management company offering all-in-one digital corporate travel, was crowned the first Business Travel Show Asia Pacific Innovation Faceoff winner last year. Product director Terence Eng said: “Winning this award acknowledges and justifies our effort to continue partnering with industry providers to offer better mobility business travel. Advanced technologies in APAC are evolving and contributing to business travel - from business operations to improving the booking experience and this event is a great place to meet people.” Details of last year’s presentations are available to view here.
APAC Travel Buyer of the Year: The APAC Travel Buyer of the Year also returns to this year’s show to recognise the travel buyer who demonstrates commitment to excellence and innovation.
Conference agenda: An inspiring schedule of expert panel discussions and industry insights on a wide range of topics and trends impacting the sector including AI, sustainable travel and the evolution of technology. The agenda will feature speakers from a diverse range of companies, including buyers from Accenture, MSD International and Western Digital alongside suppliers including Altour, FCM Consulting and Zenmer, all sharing a variety of perspectives on corporate travel across the region.
This is in addition to the 1-2-1 meetings programme available to all buyers to schedule meetings with new and existing colleagues as well as over 50 exhibitors expected to attend. Visiting buyers will also have access to the buyer-only BTN Communities sessions offering the opportunity to confidentially share ideas, challenges and tips with industry peers.
Hosted buyer programme: Available exclusively for senior corporate travel decision-makers, the programme includes exclusive benefits such as free travel and accommodation, curated one-to-one meetings with suppliers and VIP access to the event across both days, including hosted buyer only networking events.
Following attendance at last year’s show, Malsha Fernando, Global Travel Operations Manager for the London Stock Exchange Group, said it was, “A great event for networking, learning and knowledge sharing. Every minute spent at the venue was valuable.”
Over 150 buyers were welcomed to the show in 2025 and this number looks set to increase even further this year. Corporate travel managers and procurement professionals managing their organisation's travel programmes qualify. Slots are nearly full and buyers are encouraged to register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment at: businesstravelshowapac.com/register
New floor layout and interactive experiences: Alongside learning and networking, visitors will have the opportunity to tour the new series of ‘experience bars’ with the chance to dispense their own scent according to their personality profile, create a new version of themselves through AI-augmented reality and craft a personalised tea blend according to their own preferences.
Commenting on this year’s show, Nelson Khoo Business Travel Show Asia Pacific event director, said, “Asia Pacific is rapidly cementing its position as one of the most exciting, dynamic regions for both business and business travel, as the current growth predictions clearly demonstrate. An increasing number of companies from a wide range of sectors including technology, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing are investing in operations across APAC. This is fuelling demand for a more strategic approach to corporate travel which is set to make an even bigger contribution to economic growth in the future.
“The first Business Travel Show Asia Pacific was a huge success and we are expecting even more exhibitors and buyers at this year’s show. We have invested in a conference programme that helps corporate travel buyers and suppliers to understand current market trends and opportunities, ensuring they leave the show empowered with new connections and the strategic knowledge they need to realise the ambitions of not only their travel programmes but more broadly their business growth.”
Corporate travel buyers, procurement managers responsible for corporate travel and meetings planners are invited to attend the event for free, subject to qualifications, while non-exhibiting suppliers may purchase tickets.
