SkyClub Com Reviews Top Global Destinations for Business Travellers
With advancements in technology in the fields of both business and travel over the past decade, the world has become a much smaller place. Enterprises can now tap into the commercial opportunities of most every corner of the globe with relative ease, and while the Internet allows companies in different locations to communicate as if they were in the same office, face to face meetings along with business dealings in global destinations will always be necessary.

8 âEUR" Paris, France
The capital and largest city in France, Paris has an extensively rich history of both culture and business.

It ranks first for foreign embassies as well as sports and leisure activities, second for the biggest population with higher education and third for intellectual property protection.
Unfortunately, Paris is also notorious for difficulty of doing business, in fact many analysts have said that the metropolis tends to rest on its laurels rather than actively building a foundation for a dynamic 21st century economy.
