Even taking into account the development of advanced communication technologies   (you can’t surprise anyone with conference calls and online briefings), business travel is still important in the business world. Modern gadgets still can’t replace professional and business intuition that has been acquired over the years of competition - so businessmen keep on travelling.

Business trips in Russia are diverse: someone is going to buy software for high-tech production, while others are searching for plastic eyes for teddy bears. Not to mention such fundamental industries for the Russian economy as the extraction of oil and gas.

Given the huge size of our country and the importance of every minute for business, the plane is the most popular form of transport in business tourism. There are at least five flights a day between million-plus cities, and places in business class are sold out like hot cakes. Between Moscow and St. Petersburg the "Sapsan" or "Red Arrow" trains are used very often. About one and a half thousand exhibitions are held in more than fifty Russian cities a year.

Exhibitions

Visiting exhibitions is another important area of ​​business travel. About one and a half thousand exhibitions are held in more than fifty Russian cities a year. Of course, not all of them are international, but they provide an accurate picture of what is happening in a particular industry in Russia. Exhibition topics cover almost any area of ​​production and consumption: from higher education and navigation systems to optical equipment and jewelry. Let's not forget about the general cultural exhibitions: the achievements of the national economy, the exhibition of painting, domestic animals and fashion are interesting not only for professionals.

Incentive tours

Encouragement trips for company employees are akin to corporate events, but with a larger scale: colleagues entertain and grab new impressions from outdoor activities, sights and excursions. Incentive tours in Russia are a promising tourism industry, especially in the light of the sharp rise in prices for tours abroad. So now middle managers go to the Volga and the Crimea, as well as to the Moscow region boarding houses and along the Golden Ring, to St. Petersburg and other impressive cities of Russia.
