Full-Year Coverage

Every Quarter of 2025. Every Major Market. The Complete Picture.

Most annual reviews are assembled from quarterly snapshots. The CTI 2025 Year-in-Review is built from 292 million confirmed trip records — giving you a view of 2025 corporate travel performance that no other source can match.

Q1
Jan – Mar 2025
  • Rate behavior entering the year
  • Booking window patterns in winter travel

This is not a quarterly summary stitched together. The CTI 2025 Year-in-Review is built from the full-year transaction dataset — 292 million confirmed bookings — giving you the longitudinal trends, seasonal patterns, and year-over-year movements that quarterly snapshots always miss.

Why This Report Exists

The Industry Has Never Had a True Annual Review.
Until Now.

Every year, organizations in travel, finance, and investment make 2026 decisions based on incomplete, delayed, and often self-reported views of what 2025 delivered. Survey-based benchmarks. Vendor-supplied summaries. Delayed industry reports built on partial data.

The CTI 2025 Year-in-Review changes that. For the first time, there is a comprehensive, confirmed-transaction-based annual review of US corporate travel performance — built at the scale and granularity that the decisions it informs actually deserve.

📈
Full-Year Longitudinal View

Not quarterly snapshots assembled into a pseudo-annual. A continuous full-year analysis built from the complete 2025 transaction dataset.

🏙️
25+ Markets, Individually Analyzed

National averages hide what's actually happening. Every major US corporate market gets its own performance analysis.

🎯
Strategic Planning Format

25–30 pages designed to be used — in board rooms, investment committees, and 2026 planning sessions. Not a data dump. A strategic document.
