Abstract

This article examines initiatives that meetings and incentive travel planners can include in their programmes to leave a lasting legacy of community improvements in destinations which host business tourism events. It considers the advantages of adding a social legacy dimension to a meeting or incentive trip, as well as the challenges and pitfalls. Finally, a case study of a recent UK conference describes in detail how corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives were included and highlights examples of best practice.
