Many firms resumed their business travel after Covid, it is reported that flight bookings to the UK are 30% higher than in 2019, and London was the top European destination in 2022. With its unique blend of business opportunities, cultural richness, green escapes, gastronomic adventures, and easy connectivity, London looks promising in becoming the top city. My doubt is, will the recent predicted economic recession have a negative effect on the demand for business travel in London, or will the impact be positive as GBP is weaker now? 

Absolutely! Despite rising inflation in the UK, London will always be a go to destination for business and leisure. London is home to many multi national corporations that aren't going anywhere any time soon. In terms of leisure, London is one of the most historic cities in the world and is a must visit for anyone who wants to experience history. London is well connected to the rest of the UK - everyone knows that England doesn't have the best weather but there is so much to experience here. 

Real estate and tourism advisory firm Resonance voted London the best city in the world for 2023. London came out on top for the seventh year in a row after being compared to one hundred other cities around the world. Paris came in second, and New York City was not far behind in third. All three cities provide a bundle of experiences for business travellers. There are more than 1.1 million businesses in London, making it the leading technology cluster in the EMEA region. Workshops and meet-up groups thrive in the city, providing entrepreneurs with ample opportunities to expand their professional networks which could lead to it becoming the top bleisure destination
