Every year over 100 million business trips are made in the world. Their territorial distribution is characterized by extreme unevenness. Most of the tourists for business purposes go to Europe.
In the structure of business trips on the European continent, business trips, congress tours, trips to exhibitions and fairs, incentive tours for company employees prevail. Ranking first in the world in terms of the number of arrivals and spending on business tourism, Europe is nevertheless gradually losing its leading position in this segment of the tourism market. In terms of business tourism growth, it lags behind other regions of the world, and the gap between them is widening.
