Dubai, UAE, 14 May 2026: Qashio, the MENA region’s leading spend management solution, has announced the launch of Qashio Corporate Travel, a new platform that allows employees to issue and use company cards while booking corporate flights and hotels in one place. By bringing employee cards, travel bookings, and all related expenses onto a single system, Qashio enables companies to fully consolidate travel spend, maintain policy compliance, and gain real-time visibility across every transaction. The product is now available to both existing and new Qashio customers.

Launched ahead of the upcoming Eid and summer travel season, Qashio Corporate Travel allows companies to manage business travel bookings within the same platform they already use for expenses, cards, and approvals. Finance teams can secure price-matched fares on flights and hotels, access exclusive corporate rates, and ensure that every booking is automatically categorised and supported by built-in reconciliation and receipt management. With business travel spending in MENA expected to grow 8.3% annually and reach $270 billion by 2030, travel remains one of the most frequent sources of employee-driven spend outside direct finance control.
