Business travel can take you across borders and into new cities. Each location has its unique business landscape, which makes working in them challenging, engaging, and rewarding.
The Bolt Business team is home to many business travel experts who share their favourite business travel destinations in this article.
“The culture and landscape in Nairobi are unique and challenging to describe — everything is a joy when you’re here.
“Working in Kenya takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you think outside the box to address this market’s challenges. By working in African markets, I’ve become a better professional by experiencing the challenges and fights these markets face.”
“As a frequent business traveller, I’ve been fortunate to visit some incredible destinations, but Malta stands out.
“This small island nation in the Mediterranean is a true gem, with its rich history, stunning architecture, and unique blend of cultures. But what made Malta stand out was how it challenged me as a business professional. The market there is unlike any other I’ve encountered, as it has its cultural nuances, traffic patterns, and business landscape.
“I had to adapt and think creatively to succeed when working in Malta — and I’m proud to say that I rose to the challenge.”
“I’ve travelled to many countries for work, but Cape Town stands out as one of the best — it’s amazing. I love the vibe, the infrastructure, and the incredible nature.”
“Tanzania is a lovely country with incredible scenery, great food, and the best beaches — I had the most fantastic time when I visited on a business trip. The locals are super friendly, and I never felt unsafe — even walking at night.
“The highlight of my trip was spending time with the local Bolt Business team, sharing knowledge, and meeting clients face-to-face — their zest to succeed is inspiring. I hope to go back!”
We can’t end this article without mentioning the home of Bolt, Estonia. Estonia is the world’s most entrepreneurial country, with more startups per capita than any other country.
Technology is hardwired into the culture (99% of services are available digitally). Still, you’re never far from nature; you can get from your desk to the middle of a forest within 30 minutes.
Travelling to new locations is an exciting opportunity to help you develop while propelling your company. But navigating your way around an unfamiliar location, with the pressures of the business weighing on your shoulders, can make it hard to enjoy such places.
And that’s where Bolt Business will help.
Bolt is available in 45+ countries and 500+ cities — including every country listed in this article. No matter which of these countries you’re in, you can use the Bolt app to get a ride in the same way. You don’t need to convert money into the local currency or worry about language barriers.
When your employer creates a Bolt Business account, employees will see the company as a payment method in their Bolt app. Any time you travel for work with Bolt (and the trip meets the company’s travel policy), you can charge the journey straight to the company.
That means no paperwork, no lost receipts, and no filling out expense reports.
