Business-trip index

Two cities in Canada prove the most attractive destinations for business travellers. Tehran is among the worst destinations! 119 among 127 destinations.The best cities to visit on business are those that combine good infrastructure with low prices. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's World Business Trip Index, Canada and Australia present the best locations thanks to their highly developed transport networks. A weak dollar has also made American cities more tempting. Cost has been a factor in reducing the appeal of European destinations, with only Vienna featuring in the top ten. But low prices are not enough to raise the pulling power of less developed cities. Tehran, the cheapest city to visit, remains one of the least attractive.
