Abstract
Business tourism is type of tourism that involves work rather than enjoyment. It is becoming the most income-generating part of tourism. Business tourism has different types that are meetings, incentives, convention, and exhibition (MICE); congress tourism; event tourism; sport tourism; and business agencies. Meetings, incentives, convention, and exhibition is a detailed and comprehensive type of business tourism. The incentive traveling is that of business tourism that is offered by the company to their employees. Exhibitions are those types of traveling that are organized to introduced new products, services, and information to the business tourists. Convention consists of the congresses and conferences. Congresses are the larger-scale business meetings, and conferences are the smaller-scale business meetings while complexes are the combination of small exhibitions and conferences. There is a need to understand that leisure tourism is different from business tourism.
