"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 travelling, 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 plently of good hotels, motels, and
guest
houses, in the
world, conviently 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
accomodate
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
geparture 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.
