Development Of The Corporate Tourism Market
Business tourism is one of the first destinations in the tourism industry: in ancient times, people have travelled in their finances to stay for nights in the taverns. With the development of the transport industry, including rail, the geography of business tourism has increased markedly. It became unlimited with the emergence of civil aviation, when a person travelled to another country for business tourism.
The business tourism industry has developed in the West (British, France, Germany), but has already gained knowledge quickly in South-East Asia (China, Indonesia, Viet Nam) and North America.
