The workshop was designed to offer an opportunity for discussion between professionals in the sector, allowing participants to present their services and solutions dedicated to business travel. In an atmosphere of dynamic and profitable networking, exhibitors had the opportunity to share their skills and illustrate the innovations that characterize the current tourism landscape.

The Business Workshop ended with a leisurely dinner, which gave attendees an additional opportunity to make connections in a relaxed and convivial environment. The evening was enriched with the usual extraction of the prizes offered by the exhibitors present. This long-awaited tradition added a touch of enthusiasm and helped to close the event with an atmosphere of positivity and general satisfaction.

Giacomo Cattaneo explained that the main objective of the workshop is to create an effective meeting platform between the different players in the sector. "This event aims to connect those who offer capacity from our airport, such as airlines and tour operators, as well as the tourist boards that promote their destinations, with travel agencies, which represent the fundamental bridge to reach end customers. This is an essential business-to-business model to strengthen collaboration between the players in the sector."

Cattaneo also highlighted the importance of travel agencies, despite the growing attention to direct sales strategies: "At a time when many airlines are pushing the Business-to-consumer through online platforms, the role of travel agencies remains crucial. We firmly believe that collaborating with them is essential, not only to support sales, but also to disseminate information about the products and connections offered by our airport. This intermediated approach is still a pillar for the transport and tourism sector."

Milan Bergamo Airport is once again confirmed as a strategic hub for the world of business travel, offering not only first-rate infrastructures but also growth opportunities for professionals in the sector. Events such as the Business Workshop represent a concrete example of how BGY continues to invest in relationships and in the development of synergies at national and international level.
