Business Trips
Never before in the history of the world have
businessmen traveled so much as they do today. It is not surprising because we
are living in a world of growing international trade and expanding economic and
technical cooperation.
Fascinating though it is for tourist traveling,
however, has become the most tiring of all the occupations for many businessmen
and experts. Choosing a comfortable hotel to stay at is, therefore, a matter of
some importance.
There are plenty of good hotels, motels, and guest
houses, in the world, conviniently located for major business centers. Many
developing countries, such as India, Egypt, Nigeria, Lybia, etc have excellent
hotels. Their numerous facilities include both: large and small cocktail
barber's shops and conference halls, equipped with simultaneous, multilingual
translation systems.
There are parking areas which can accommodate a lot of
cars. It might be useful for travelling businessmen and tourists to know that
tailor shops, shoe repair shops and laundry, dry cleaning services are
available for guests.
People in the office help guests to book train or
steamer tickets and rent a car. They are also ready to give all necessary
information.
Nowadays people who go on business mostly travel by
air as it is the fastest means of travelling. Passengers are requested to
arrive at the airport 2 hours before departure time on international flights
and an hour on domestic flights as there must be enough time to complete the
necessary airport formalities. Passengers must register their tickets, weigh in
and register the luggage.
Most airlines have at least 2 classes of travel: first
class and economy class which is cheaper. Each passenger of more than 2 years
of age has a free luggage allowance. Generally this limit is 20kg for economic
class passenger and 30kg for first class passenger. Excess luggage must be paid
for except for some articles that can be carried free of charge.
Each passenger is given a boarding pass to be shown at
departure gate and again to the stewardess when boarding the plane. Watch the
electric sign flashes when you are on board, when the "Fasten Seat
Belts" sign goes on do it promptly and also obey the "No
Smoking" signal. Do not forget your personal effects when leaving the
plane.
