The report indicates that hotel rates in Sydney are forecast to rise by 3.5% to 5% in 2027. These forecasts are presented as ranges, reflecting geopolitical uncertainty and commodity price volatility. The company noted that the forecast is influenced by the ongoing Middle East conflict and the International Monetary Fund’s July 2026 outlook.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The forecast suggests that resilient corporate travel and meetings demand in the Americas and Europe are key drivers of rising rates. If the Middle East conflict does not resolve quickly, Amex GBT advises using the lower end of each rate increase range. The company noted that the upper end of the forecast becomes more likely if inflation runs higher than the IMF’s July 2026 forecast of 4.7% for 2026.

Corporate travel demand is up, but growth in the Asia-Pacific region is moderating due to the ongoing conflict affecting key Gulf destinations.
