Convention tourism involves traveling to attend conferences, meetings, or events such as trade shows or professional gatherings. It attracts visitors to specific locations hosting these events, often for networking, industry updates, or learning opportunities. This type of tourism benefits local economies through hotel stays, dining, and entertainment. It differs from leisure tourism by focusing on business-related activities rather than leisure or sightseeing. Convention tourism plays a significant role in promoting destinations as professional and event-friendly, helping cities develop their infrastructure and reputation as centers for business and innovation.
