In 2024, each month is held under the auspices of one of 13 types of tourism. April is designated as Business Tourism Month. Let's figure out what this concept means and what is included in business tourism?

Business tourism is business trips, individual and group, various corporate events that are made both within the country and abroad. These could be press conferences, exhibitions, workshops, forums, symposiums, negotiations, arrangement of business tours in various industries and much more. They are aimed at achieving the main goal - finding business partners and concluding promising contracts in tourism.

What are the types of business tourism? It should be said that business trips are united by the abbreviation MICE:

Meetings;

Incentives;

Conferences;

Exibitions.

The development of business tourism is inextricably linked with these areas. In our reference publication we explain in more detail about MICE tourism.

And the most significant and eventful event in April will be the 26th International Spring Fair of Tourist Services “HOLIDAY-2024”. The exhibition is traditional and has already become a favorite among tourists. It will take place from April 18 to 20 in Minsk. You will not only learn the features of business tourism, but will also take part in a number of interesting events:

- Second Russian-Belarusian Tourist Congress;

- B2B-workshop;

- Business Tourism Development Section;

- Arrangement of study tours for the media and tour operators and much more.

However, this year’s busy program promises that the developed entertainment industry in the capital and regional cities will touch everyone`s feelings.

To arrange recreation and leisure, a wide selection of hotels is available, including those included in the world hotel chains: “Marriott”, “Renaissance”, “Crown Plaza”, “Hampton by Hilton”, “Double Tree by Hilton”, “President Hotel” and etc.

In addition to holding official and work events and meetings, a variety of active recreation is offered during your stay in Belarus: interesting excursions, exciting animation programs, intriguing quests, boat trips, bike rides and even a Belarusian dinner at an agro-estate.

We also invite you to take part in the “Accommodation Facility of the Year” nomination, which was established as part of the Republican Tourism Competition “Discover Belarus”.
