✈️ 56 new international flight routes are reshaping Australia’s hotel landscape
According to CBRE’s latest From Runway to Room Nights report, enhanced global connectivity is expected to supercharge the Australian hotel sector with up to 1.9 million new room nights annually by 2026.
What does this mean for corporate and B2B travel sectors?
✔️ Greater inbound capacity from key markets like China, India, Southeast Asia, North America and the Middle East
✔️ Performance uplift in key cities, particularly Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane
✔️ Hotel occupancy and RevPAR expected to rise as supply remains constrained
For business travellers, this expansion means more direct flight options, improved scheduling flexibility, and increased competition for quality accommodation in high-demand cities, especially around major events, conferences, and peak business periods.
This surge in international access comes at a pivotal time, creating fresh opportunities for corporate travel programs, incentive trips, conference planning, and client engagement strategies.
Partnering with a strategic travel management company like Goldman Travel ensures your organisation secures the best connections, rates, and experiences, helping to maximise every travel investment.
