2023 was the first full year free of major disruptions, so naturally, Navan dug into its extensive travel data to learn how travel & expense behavior has shifted — what's returned to historical norms, what's permanently changed, and what that means for 2024.

Here’s what’s ‘In’ and what’s ‘Out’ for the new year:

In: Traveling for work
Global business travel bookings grew ~50% YoY in 2023 — and forward bookings for 2024 are up 60% YoY

In: Adding personal travel to a work trip
Blended/bleisure travel bookings jumped 76% YoY. The most popular destinations? New York, San Francisco, London, Las Vegas, Paris, Sydney, Dublin, Singapore, and Barcelona.

In: Working remotely on vacay
Prior to the pandemic, the plurality of leisure bookings (25%) departed on a Friday, as workers were tied to an office. But with the rise of remote/hybrid work, the most popular departure days have become more distributed, with Friday departures down 4 percentage points from 2019, at 21%. Meanwhile, Mon–Wed departures have increased.

In: Not spending money out-of-pocket
Navan Expense saw processed spend grow nearly 2x YoY.

In: Experiential conferences; Out: Stuffy and transactional conferences
One area of spend that saw a big change in 2023 was conference transaction volume, which increased 216% YoY on Navan Expense. 

The average transaction amount, however, decreased by 22% YoY on avg., which could indicate declining prices or the implementation of stricter policies around conference spend — without a limitation on attendance.

In: Grabbing a coffee (let’s be real — it’s always in)
In 2023, Starbucks remained the top fast-food choice for road warriors, while Dunkin’ Donuts and Chick-fil-A saw steady increases in popularity this year.

“Business travel solutions will have to innovate to adequately support customers. There will be increasing reliance on new technologies, such as generative AI, to support customers. AI is already providing human-grade support, but these integrations will need to widen in scope.”

“In 2024, airlines that have adopted NDC will transform their programs with corporations and agencies, including the existing structure around contracts. The resulting structures will reflect what NDC has to offer and provide a pathway for increased utilization of this technology, with the goal of incentivizing travelers to book through preferred channels." –Dane Molter
