2. Better understanding of the different trips
- 1. Events
Generally speaking, business travel for events is about conferences or seminars. Indeed, companies send their employees to these events in order to provide them with a learning experience through workshops for example. This type of travel is essential as it allows employees to develop professionally and facilitates networking with collaborators such as customers and suppliers.
- 2. Meetings and visits
It is true that companies with offices abroad have this type of business travel. As a general rule, travelling to different offices helps to harmonise the organisation of the company but also to communicate issues that need to be addressed.
- 3. Company seminars
These seminars are designed to create team cohesion. In general, company seminars are organised at least once a year and activities are arranged to bring all employees together.
4. Customer meetings
There are cultures where face-to-face meetings are considered essential for the health of the company. Therefore, organising business trips to maintain good relations with partners is essential.
- 5. Trade shows
Travelling to trade fairs is a good way for many companies in certain sectors to be able to present and therefore sell their offer. Trade fairs are also an opportunity to establish or consolidate new relationships.
