In 2022, a post-pandemic surge in business travel and tourism drove up costs by 8% from the previous year, ensuring that New York remained the world's most expensive destination for business travel. The high cost of living in New York City, including high hotel rates, transportation costs, and food and beverage expenses, all contribute to the city's high ranking as the most expensive city for business travellers. However, New York City is also one of the world's most important business hubs, with a thriving economy and a range of industries, including finance, media, and technology.
As such, it is a popular destination for business travellers, who may be willing to pay a premium for the city's networking opportunities and potential business deals. With an average daily cost of $520, Hong Kong was Asia's most expensive destination, just $5 more expensive than Singapore, the region's financial centre. London and Paris remained in the top ten, and Luanda in Angola was the most expensive city in Africa. Business travellers to New York City may be able to reduce their costs by taking advantage of deals on accommodations, using public transportation instead of taxis, and seeking out affordable dining options.
