Introduction: The New Face of Business Travel
By 2025, Gen Z is projected to make up nearly 30% of the Indian workforce. With their digital-first approach, sustainability focus, and desire for flexibility, this generation is already reshaping many traditional business norms, and corporate travel is no exception.
Purpose of the Blog
This blog explores how Gen Z’s preferences and expectations redefine the corporate travel ecosystem and how companies can adapt using tech-first solutions like AtYourPrice.
Why It Matters
Traditional corporate travel tools and policies were designed for Gen X and millennials — focused on cost-saving and control. But Gen Z demands:
- Mobile-first booking
- Real-time updates
- Sustainable choices
- Personalization
Ignoring their preferences risks non-compliance, reduced productivity, and a poor employee experience.
