Travelling gives you high exposure over other experiences locally and internationally, meeting new people generate new ideas.. Which is good.. The bad side is, if you travel too much, you may not have the time to transfer that experience to your team or even implement it to improve the business.

When I was the export Manager of the pasta manufacture, I was using to travel every month for exhibitions, visits, conferences, etc.

For me, traveling is very interested since It allows us to have our eyes open to what is going on abroad.

Meeting other persons, other cultures is wealth of experience and information.
