REALITIES AND PERSPECTIVES OF BUSINESS TOURISM ON A GLOBAL SCALE

Abstract

At en extensive level, business tourism is often defined as being the action of travelling for business purposes, more precisely to solve commercial problems or to attend different conferences and meetings organized by economic institutions in order to diversify and improve the quality of the economic goods and services. Although, the vast majority of these actions may involve running a paid activity, they are part of tourism, the organization and their implementation requires the use of technical facilities for accommodation, food services, leisure and consumption of specific services supplied by the organizers. Until now and much more to come, business travel is and will be the privilege of developed countries with established and authentic market economies. However, business travel is the most important niche which can enable Romania’s access to the international touristic circuit.
