Leisure travel to the United States is down this year, but business travel to the country remains stable, according to a report from SAP Concur.
The United States was the top destination for global business travelers in the first half of 2025, according to the report.
Some 15% of all business air travel bookings were to destinations in the U.S., it showed. That’s twice the number of business bookings to Germany (7.7%) and United Kingdom (7.6%), which ranked second and third, respectively, in the report.
Business travel between Canada and the U.S. also held steady, with the U.S. accounting for nearly 80% of outbound business trips made by Canadians, according to the data.
Despite crumbling relations between the two countries, international business booking volume rose slightly (0.18%) in Canada in the first half of 2025 from the same period last year, it showed.
