Industrial definition of business tourism

Business tourism is a new tourism project, which develops very rapidly, but there are many views on the definition of business tourism industry at present.

The World Tourism Organization defines business tourism as "an activity in which people arrive and stay in non-residential areas for business purposes." Early research thought: "Business tourism, also known as business tourism, is a form of tourism that combines business operation with travel and sightseeing for the purpose of doing business." The International Business Tourism Industry Summit was held in Beijing on May 23, 24. The conference held that: "Business tourism refers to all tourism consumption behaviors generated by business people in the course of business activities. In addition to traditional business operations, it also includes participation in industry exhibitions, regional annual meetings of multinational companies, research and inspection, cross-regional technical exchanges between companies, product launches, and corporate incentive tours.

Wei Xiaoan, a senior tourism scholar, thinks: "Business tourism is a compound tourism mode with business as its main purpose. First, business is the main purpose, and second, complex tourism methods, including meetings, exhibitions, negotiations, inspections, management, marketing and other activities are all business activities. "

from the perspective of international comparison, domestic research results and practical fields, business and tourism are undoubtedly the two pillars of business tourism. There are some differences between domestic and foreign institutions and scholars in judging the connotation and extension of business tourism, because business and tourism are from the perspective of demand, and demand itself is comprehensive, diverse and dynamic, which leads to differences in the concept determination and statistical analysis of business tourism. However, business tourism, as one of the most important, common and promising forms of tourism, has developed rapidly with the development of economy, and has been confirmed by the development of developed countries and China in recent 1 years.
