With the use of case studies from around the world, 'Business Travel and Tourism' explores a broad range of issues, including: * The global business tourism market * The design of business tourism facilities * The role of the destination in business travel and tourism * The social, economic, and environmental impacts of business tourism * The ethical dimension of business tourism * The marketing of business tourism products * The impact of new technologies on the business tourism market * How to organise successful conferences, exhibitions, and incentive travel packages Case studies include Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong, Amsterdam RAI International Exhibition and Congress Centre, Hilton, Page and Moy Marketing, Lufthansa, Air France, and Legoland UK. 'Business Travel and Tourism' is the first text to offer a comprehensive overview of the growing but neglected area of business tourism.
