While worldwide travel can be exciting, waiting in long lines at airport security checkpoints can be frustrating. Trade show managers spend time waiting for space selection, budget approvals, and freight deliveries. Though there is so much waiting time exhibit and event professionals can’t control, now flying through airport lines faster is possible with trusted traveler programs.
International exhibit and event managers manage various challenges associated with implementing trade show programs. While overseas travel can be fun and rewarding, long-haul flights are not easy. Budget restrictions and company travel policies may not allow for business class travel. Here are some tips to share with trade show team members, many of whom may not be experienced travelers, to make transoceanic flights easier.
As the global marketplace expands more companies are participating in overseas exhibitions. Successful trade show planning isn’t just about the stand design. Safety for employees while traveling is as important to corporate management as securing new business in foreign markets. Staff members will be confident when embarking on an overseas trip for exhibitions when they are informed about current safety precautions.
Companies participating in international trade shows have the same primary objective: to increase their market share. Planning and executing a show in an unfamiliar country presents a unique challenge to exhibit managers. Rio de Janeiro is a key market for Latin America and in addition to hosting the Olympics in 2016, it is home to major exhibitions.
International travel is exciting and will be enjoyable for you and your staff if careful planning for safe journeys is done prior to travel. A travel nightmare can be avoided for an overseas trade show or corporate event by keeping current with regulations and taking safety precautions.
Love may be considered the international language but holidays transcend cultures around the world.
Although holidays may vary from country to country, celebration of the human spirit is universal. Holidays can be spiritually or historically based, commemorating a special occasion or welcoming in the New Year. Regardless of the reason, who doesn’t enjoy a festive time?
