In today’s increasingly competitive business world, establishing and maintaining a good relationship with business partners and clients are the key to success. But while the internet and mobile technology have definitely made it easier for companies to find potential business partners and stay engaged with their affiliates, nothing beats the old style of networking face-to-face.

That is why despite the presence of social networking platforms such as LinkedIn and accessibility of video calling and chat apps, many companies these days still prefer sending a representative to conduct their corporate affairs. In fact, a recent survey states that the business travel spend growth is set to rise above 6% in 2018, indicating that there is an increase in organizations that think traveling for business is still an investment-worthy endeavor nowadays.
