Additional information that may interest you:

 ?The most popular business destinations were France and Germany
with 1.5 million and 1.1 million trips respectively. Furthermore UK
residents were much more likely to visit Germany for business than
for any other purpose; nearly half (47 per cent) of all visits to this
country were for business reasons compared with around a quarter
(27 per cent) for holidays. In contrast, the large number of business
trips to France only constituted 12 per cent of all visits there.
by purpose of visit.?
