By comparison with leisure tourism, business tourism has been relatively
under-researched in academia, despite considerable economic
benefi ts it can bring to destinations. Holloway and Humphreys (2016)
note that business tourism – which is principally, travel for commercial,
professional and work-related purposes – represents the major non-leisure
form of tourism, and business tourists are widely recognised as the
highest-spending category of travellers. According to the same source,
business tourism takes four principal forms: travel for the purpose of attending
meetings; incentive travel; travel to attend an exhibition or trade
fair; and individual business travel.
Th e meetings sector represents by far the largest and most profitable
element of business tourism. To take just one type of meeting - conferences
of international associations - the International Congress and
Convention Association, reported a record number of 12,076 rotating
international association meetings taking place in 2015, 571 additional
meetings compared to 2014 (ICCA, 2016).
