ВЛИЯНИЕ ДЕЛОВОГО ТУРИЗМА НА ЭКОНОМИКУ ГОРОДОВ И СТРАН

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the impact of business tourism on the economy of cities and countries. The author conducted a literature review on the definition of business tourism, based on which it was concluded that business tourism is a travel undertaken for the purpose of participation in business events. The main factors influencing the development of international business tourism have been identified. The statistical data reflecting general trends in the development of the global business tourism industry has been analyzed, which showed that this sphere is actively developing and has a significant economic potential. It was determined that for the last three years the first seven positions in the rating are held by China, USA, Germany, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy. As a result of the correlation analysis of the relationship between business travel expenditures and GDP of the leading countries in the business tourism industry for 2020–2022, it was concluded that the development of business tourism is an important factor in stimulating economic growth and attracting investment. The positive correlation between business travel expenditure and GDP indicates that an increase in business tourism contributes to economic growth. This is explained by the fact that business travel promotes business development, stimulates economic activity and attracts investment. Based on the study of global trends in the development of business tourism, it was proposed to focus on interregional business tourism for the development of this industry in Russia by creating special programs and packages for interregional business travel, supporting and developing business centers and conference halls in different regions, improving the quality and availability of transport infrastructure, promoting domestic business tourism through media and marketing campaigns, and simplifying the procedure for obtaining visas and permits for foreign business travelers, Given the large territorial size of the country and the presence of various business centers in different regions, the development of interregional business tourism will expand the geography of travel and attract more representatives of the business community.
