From now on, the fact that business travelers often return later as individuals and with their families increases their importance, thus multiplying the business result, they wrote.

In order to increase all these available benefits and results, the MTÜ will continue to encourage this branch of professional tourism, building on the leisure and corporate tourism management experience gained so far – they added.
