Gulf Coast Events Highlights Corporate Travel
The executives at Gulf Coast Events highlighted the benefits of attending conferences and industry events. The director of operations outlined the skills individuals develop during business travel.
Houston, TX, October 30, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “At Gulf Coast Events, we strive to keep our associates at the forefront of the industry,” said Alex, the director of operations. “To accomplish this, members of our team participate in a number of conferences and industry events all around the country. Our conferences are an amazing opportunity for our campaign managers to be able to learn and network with others in our industry and continue to grow and develop their skill sets in a multitude of different areas.”
“There is so much going on at these events, so it is important to learn as much as you can,” remarked the director. “That’s why we select a handful of top performers to attend conference. That way, we maximize our coverage, and we share what we have learned once we return to the office.”
"2015 has been a successful year for Gulf Coast Events and we are all excited to finish off the year and continue that on to 2016,"

Another benefit of traveling is the opportunities for growth that develop along the way. “Travel gives our associates the chance to explore and interact with various markets. They are able to step up to the challenge of showcasing their abilities to manage events away from our local market” said Alex. “We also get to know the other markets from which we travel to. We take what we learn back to the drawing board to see if these are markets we could expand to as well.”
At Gulf Coast Events, they also provide annual leisure trips to their team members. “These trips are a thank you to our associates for the hard work and dedication they put in day in and day out,” stated Alex. Trips of this nature are great for team bonding. Coming up soon is a trip planned to the Bahamas. “We get to know each other out of the office and bond by having fun and relaxing at an amazing resort in a beautiful place!”
Gulf Coast Events’ Director Shares the Career Benefits of Business Travel
Alex and the management team at Gulf Coast Events see business travel as a way to develop capabilities. “Building your career involves much more than enhancing your work experience,” she said. “Your personality and your life skills also contribute to your professional image and how you perform. Traveling for your job provides you with challenges that will contribute to your development.”
One valuable skill that is needed for travel is time management. “For instance, you could be on a business trip that requires you to visit three cities in one week,” said Alex. “You have to manage flight schedules, transportation, meetings, and maybe some sightseeing. You must be careful with your time, and be punctual!”
Another skill required in the working and travel worlds is solid communication. “You must be able to work with people who have different backgrounds,” remarked Alex. “This is important when you are working with customers and when you are trying to discuss a train schedule with someone in a foreign country.”
“No matter what your career entails, traveling provides you with incredible opportunities,” said Alex. “That’s why our team at Gulf Coast Events puts so much value on going to new locations. When our people head out to conferences or any other functions, we are confident they are learning more about the business. Plus, they are developing skills that will take them further in life.”
“2015 has been a successful year for Gulf Coast Events and we are all excited to finish off the year and continue that on to 2016,” the director concluded.
