Brief introduction of conference tourism

Conference tourism is a kind of exhibition tourism, and it also belongs to the category of business tourism in a broad sense. Generally speaking, conference receptionists use the opportunity of holding conferences to organize tourism activities attended by participants from all over the world. The tourism involved often has work-related purposes. With the development of economy and the intensification of communication, conference tourism is growing day by day, and its consumption level and cost are much higher than that of ordinary sightseeing tourism.

Conference tourism first began in economically developed countries such as Europe and America. By the mid-1970s, all kinds of international conferences held by developed countries in Europe and America accounted for more than 85% of the total international conferences in the world. With the development of society, the number of international conferences held by a country or city has become one of the signs of the development level of this country or city. By continent, Europe accounts for 60%, Asia accounts for 10%-20%, followed by North America, Australia and Africa. By country, the United States accounts for more than 8%, followed by Britain, Germany, Australia, Spain, France, New Zealand, Italy, Japan and Canada, and China ranks 26th in the world.
