Brazil Corporate Travel Market Reaches 30.3 Billion USD by 2024

 

The corporate travel market in Brazil is experiencing robust growth, with annual spending projected to reach $30.3 billion by 2024, according to the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA). Growing at a rate of 6% per year, this surge underscores the rising importance of streamlined travel management solutions, particularly as companies focus on proximity to customers and suppliers to drive business expansion. Leading this transformation is Kontrip, a travel tech pioneer in corporate travel management for medium and large enterprises, supported by the Kontik Group’s 70-year legacy.

Transforming Corporate Travel Management

Kontrip was established in 2017 by the Kontik Group with the mission of democratizing access to advanced corporate travel management technologies, previously available only to the largest corporations. Today, Kontrip serves over 5,000 customers and offers a fully integrated platform for planning and managing corporate travel, from booking flights to accommodations and car rentals. This centralization ensures operational efficiency, cost reduction, and seamless service delivery.

Efficiency and Cost Reduction at the Core

Kontrip’s platform prioritizes efficiency and cost reduction, enabling companies to focus on their core activities while delegating the complexities of travel management. CEO Alexandre Berbel highlights the platform’s capabilities: “With more than 100,000 hotels, 100 airlines, and 100 car rental companies integrated, our platform provides a fluid experience, free of bureaucracy, with 24/7 specialized support.”

One of Kontrip’s standout features is its intuitive interface, which simplifies travel management. Users can book, reschedule, or cancel international flights with just a few clicks, saving valuable time and resources. Additionally, Kontrip leverages Kontik Group’s extensive partnerships with airlines, hotel chains, and service providers to negotiate favorable terms for its customers.

Data-Driven Insights for Strategic Decisions

Beyond convenience, Kontrip offers robust analytics through detailed dashboards and reports. Companies can monitor travel expenses, identify frequently visited destinations, and track department-specific costs. These insights empower organizations to make informed decisions, optimize spending, and address inefficiencies in their travel programs.

“Our platform generates valuable insights, helping companies identify bottlenecks and uncover savings opportunities. This strategic approach further enhances cost efficiency,” explains Berbel.

Commitment to Security

Security remains a top priority for Kontrip. The platform employs advanced authentication and encryption technologies, adhering to international certifications such as ISO 27001 and PCI. These measures ensure that customer data is safeguarded, fostering trust and reliability in the platform’s services.

Regional Expansion to Boost Accessibility

Kontrip’s growth strategy involves a significant regional expansion plan. Headquartered in São Paulo, the company recently opened a branch in Porto Alegre and plans to establish offices in Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Goiânia, Recife, and Macaé by early 2025. “We want to be physically closer to our customers, offering personalized services tailored to regional needs,” says Berbel.

This regional presence enhances customer accessibility and strengthens Kontrip’s position as a leading travel management solution in Brazil.

Future Innovations: A Game-Changer for Corporate Travel

As part of its ambitious growth plan, Kontrip is developing a next-generation platform set to launch in early 2025. This upgraded version will incorporate cutting-edge technologies, making tools currently exclusive to larger corporations accessible to medium and large businesses. “We aim to deliver a more powerful and innovative platform that levels the playing field for companies of all sizes,” notes Berbel.

The company’s plan to grow by 150% next year reflects its commitment to innovation and market leadership. Supported by the Kontik Group, which generates over R$2 billion annually, Kontrip is poised to redefine corporate travel management in Brazil.
