Abstract
Tourism of business represents a true opportunity which the professionals of this sector want to exploit. A tendency which leads them to multiply the services and infrastructures dedicated to the companies, contributing to make France a genuine destination for business trips.
The market of business trip, (estimated at approximately 23 billion euros) has metamorphosed in France these last years, under the combined effect of the crisis and globalization: the globalized companies regulated their expenditure and launched tenders at the national and even international level. That pushed the French offer to become structured, while specializing, while investing heavily in new technologies, and by seeking alliances on a global level.
The direct and indirect economic consequences of the conventions, meetings, trade fairs and seminars, essential components of tourism of business, are estimated at more than 8.5 billion euros.
