Business Tourism

I want to speak about business tourism. Business tourism, commercial and economic life usually involves travel. Business travel is on the trade, the purchase, sale, or for market research. It is based on different regions and countries, companies, industry trade and business relations. This includes business travel, market research, business deals to share expertise, research trips, productive co-operation etc. Accordingly, we can talk about domestic and international business tourism. The international tourism to the country characteristics that are known as open economies, a significant proportion of national income is earned in foreign trade. -----------------------------------The Internet, e-mail and alternative communication devices has accelerated since spread around the world and the flow of information, but our affairs, business affairs within that remain a key position in the personal touch. This is supported by British Airways and BOSS Magazine survey data, showing that the Hungarian 20.9% of business decision-makers, the middle and senior management level is already 33% in at least a month for a meeting of international travel is involved.--------------------

Business travel is one of the fastest growing branch of tourism matters. This increasing number of conferences on social and economic changes induce. Recognising this, both the airlines and the hotels "Services to business needs," the target audience. Following the global trend business tourism which is the youngest (began to develop in the 70s of the 20th century) and fastest growing tourism sector is actively developing . Statistics shows that nowadays one in every four tourist trips in the world is made because of business necessity. In world practice the bulk of business tourism is presented by individual business trips related to meetings industry . The basic points explaining why business tourism will be developing and why we pay great attention to it are as follows: 1) it is less affected by the changing political environment in the world; 2) the distinctive feature of business programs is their independence from the season; 3) business trips are usually planned beforehand - at least six months before, and it makes their dynamics predictable and stable; 4) Profitability: business-tours are oriented towards a middle-and high-income consumer, the basic package is paid by a corporate-organisation which is the originator of an event.

Business tourism is a sector of the wider tourism industry. It encompasses : 1. conferences and meetings 2. exhibitions and trade fairs 3. incentive travel 4. corporate events 5. outdoor events 6. business (or individual corporate) travel (http://translate.google.hu/translate?hl=hu&langpair=en%7Chu&u=http://www.businesstouris mpartnership.com/pubs/briefing.pdf)

Principal characteristics of business tourism include the following: it is at the high quality, high yield end of the tourism spectrum business tourism is year-round, peaking in Spring and Autumn but still with high levels of activity in the Summer and Winter months, thus sustaining permanent, full-time employment. It is estimated that the sector nationally employs around 530,000 people both directly and indirectly it complements the leisure tourism sector, relying on much of the same physical infrastructure, and bringing business to destinations such as seaside resorts which would otherwise be dependent upon a relatively short Summer season for their economic health and prosperity investments in business tourism facilities lead to the regeneration of urban and inner city areas, as evidenced by cities such as Birmingham, Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow and Manchester many of the investments in a destinations infrastructure designed primarily for the business tourist (hotels, transport and communications facilities, restaurants, attractions and amenities, even conference auditoria) provide benefits which can also be enjoyed by the leisure tourist and the indigenous population it is resilient, being much less affected by economic downturns or by disasters such as the Foot and Mouth Epidemic than leisure tourism and other sectors of the national economy business tourism stimulates future inward investment as business people see the attractions of a destination while travelling on business or to attend a conference, exhibition or incentive, and then return to establish business operations there. They can also become unpaid ambassadors for a destination by communicating to colleagues and others their positive impressions and favourable experiences the higher quality of personal service demanded by the business tourist requires more labour-intensive service suppliers, which in turn translates into higher levels of job creation. For example, 68% of all tourism jobs in Harrogate are created and sustained by business tourism (principally conferences and exhibitions), only 32% by leisure tourism. Around 22,000 jobs in the West Midlands are sustained by the NEC Group of venues (National Exhibition Centre, International Convention Centre, Symphony Hall, and the National Indoor Arena). The Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (Glasgow) directly supported over 3,300 jobs in Glasgow and in other regions of Scotland in 2001 research (Conference Delegate Expenditure Survey 1998) suggests that approximately 40% of business travellers will return with their families as leisure visitors to destinations they have enjoyed visiting on business business tourism is sustainable, offering higher added value with fewer negative environmental impacts than mass leisure tourism. Furthermore, conference and incentive visitors are together as a group, so that it is possible to inform and educate them about the local community in which their event is being held in order to maximise the enjoyment of their stay but also to minimise any disruption and possible inconvenience to the local resident population. It is very much harder to manage, in the same way, the impact of

individual leisure travellers on a destination.

The individual segments of business tourism (conferences and meetings, exhibitions and trade fairs, incentive travel, corporate events, outdoor events) are the five segments which are the prime focus of marketing activities by venues and destinations, because decisions about where the events take place are open to influence. The organisers of the event may have greater flexibility in deciding where it is held, and are able to use their own judgement or discretion. For this reason, these five segments are often described as discretionary. Individual business travel, on the other hand, is termed non-discretionary because, while the mode of transport (road, rail or air, for example) used by the individual traveller is open to influence, their actual travel destination is not.
