Travel is an unexpected perk of business -( Trust me!) Though I love travelling -- The thrill of exploring new cities, the chance to immerse yourself in unfamiliar cultures – it's undeniably exciting. But for entrepreneurs, the constant allure of business trips can take a surprising turn. What starts as an exciting adventure filled with new destinations can quickly become a feeling of obligation, with endless conferences and client meetings filling your calendar. For many new PR professionals, the chance to attend industry events and meet clients face-to-face is exhilarating. But here's a truth - Every event, every meeting you attend becomes a masterclass in essential skills. You learn to refine your presentation style, master the art of sparking captivating conversations, and develop the finesse of providing exceptional client support.  You navigate the delicate balance of representing your brand while putting your clients' needs first – all crucial skills for any entrepreneur who wants to succeed. The truth is, building a strong brand requires putting yourself out there. It's about connecting with people, understanding their needs, and building lasting relationships. Those seemingly endless travel hours are actually laying the groundwork for a future where your ideal clients come to you. So, the next time you find yourself bleary-eyed at a conference on the other side of the world, remember this: while it might feel like a grind now, each trip is an investment in your future success.

🌟 The Importance of Early Planning for International Exhibitions and Conferences with Us   We consistently see how significant early planning is for the success of your business trips to international exhibitions and conferences. Our experience shows that the earlier you plan, the higher the chances for a successful and efficient experience.   🔑 Why is it so important to plan for exhibitions and conferences? Here are several points that can save you money:   1️⃣ Significant Savings: Early booking allows you to save tens of percentages on flight and hotel costs. During major conferences, prices rise significantly as the event date approaches, and the best spots are quickly taken.   2️⃣ Ideal Location: The right location is the key to success. Advance planning allows you to secure rooms in quality hotels close to the exhibition venue - an advantage that saves precious hours of travel and traffic.   3️⃣ Maximum Focus: Exhibition tickets, flights, hotel, transfers - every detail requires attention. When logistics are arranged in advance, you're free to focus on what truly matters - your business meetings and networking opportunities.   4️⃣ Risk Reduction: Late planning can lead to significant challenges: full flights, booked hotels, and even closed exhibition registration. Early planning prevents all these risks.   ✈️ Tips we've gathered over the years: - We recommend planning at least 3-4 months ahead for major exhibitions - Consider flexible travel insurance that covers last-minute changes - Arriving one day before the exhibition opens allows for relaxed preparation - Worth checking for networking events happening around the exhibition - Important to verify all small details - from transfers to special meal arrangements   💼 We'll be happy to assist in planning your next business trip, ensuring you arrive prepared for your next business success.   🌍 Ophir Tours - Your experts for business travel and international exhibitions. 📅 Contact us today >> business.ophirtours.co.il Shai Ganon   Good luck with your meetings!   #InternationalConferences #AdvancePlanning #BusinessTravel #InternationalExhibitions #BusinessOpportunities #OphirTours

We are thrilled to announce that my team and I will be attending GBTA in beautiful Atlanta, Georgia! Just a few years ago, the world came to a standstill, and all conventions and travel were canceled. It’s a reminder of how fortunate we are today. The predictions that technology would replace travel were wrong. The pandemic highlighted the critical importance of human connection. Travel fosters these connections, builds trust, and strengthens relationships. One of our insightful customers shared, "We are doubling our travel budget to meet with our employees and reinforce our team bond. We also need to visit our clients and show them how much we value them." Business travel is not just an expense; it’s an investment with immeasurable returns that technology cannot replace. Even SEO experts have found that machine-written posts achieve only 2% engagement, while human-authored content reaches 98% (see Cal Fussman's interview with Damon Burton or even better listen to this podcast on AI versus the human) https://lnkd.in/ep6kVvVv We look forward to seeing everyone at GBTA, and creating some #momentsofhappiness together.

A night out without the baby! Guess where we ended up? A business event 😅 For Dr Byron Cole and I, work and leisure often go hand in hand, and sometimes the best ‘date nights’ come with networking, new ideas, and great conversations. So here’s a controversial question 💭 Can business events truly double as quality time, or is it important to completely separate work from leisure? 🤔 I’d love to hear your thoughts! #business #worklifebalance
