The survey has found that China will become the world's third largest market for corporate travel in five years after the fastest growth in the world.

The survey shows that the spending on international business travel by China approximates 4.2 billion USD a year, which is 17 percent of the Asian market for business travel. This, plus some 20 billion USD spending on the domestic business travel in China, comes to nearly 25 billion USD.
