Resumo:At destination areas, business tourism should be seen through an integrative perspective to promote and to maximize the overall tourism experience of business travellers. Not only venues are important, but also the natural, cultural and historical assets are critical to increase attractiveness and enhance the potential for capturing events and visitors.
