Пояснення до тексту:

1. All meetings require some form of venue in which the attendees can gather for the duration of the event. Derived from the Latin verb venire (to come), the word venue is used to denote the building in which delegates come together in order to attend the event.

2. In its most basic form, a venue comprises four walls, a roof and a collection of chairs for the delegates’ comfort, but the variety of venues is almost as great as the variety of meetings held within them. Their city centre locations and often iconic designs mean that these buildings are certainly the most visible indication that any city is active in hosting large meetings. Many conference centres, such as the harbour-front Hong Kong Conference and Exhibition Centre, have become important symbols of the cities in which they are located. These venues are most often used for meetings requiring large open spaces and are built on a scale that enables them to accommodate hundreds or even thousands of delegates.

3. In addition, they generally offer space for the types of exhibitions that are often run in parallel with large conferences, as well as the high-quality audio-visual and other technical facilities that are essential to the success of such large-scale events.

4. Long before the first conference centres were built, meetings were regularly taking place in rooms designed for the purpose in inns and hotels and, to this day, they remain the preferred type of venue for most of the world’s meetings. Whether hotels are situated in city centres, suburban locations, airports or rural areas, most depend to a significant extent on the income they earn from renting out their meetings rooms. Many hotel chains have branded their meetings facilities to ensure that customers using them are assured consistent standards of facilities and quality, wherever in the world a particular hotel may be located.

5. In many countries, universities and other educational institutions are active suppliers of meetings facilities, particularly during student holiday periods and weekends. With their lecture theatres, classrooms, audio-visual facilities and catering services, such venues offer everything that is required to host meetings, large and small.

6. Unusual venues include the meetings facilities offered by a wide range of properties such as museums, stately homes, castles, theatres and theme parks as well as other tourist attractions such as zoos and aquariums. For most of these, the provision of meeting facilities is an activity that is secondary to the property’s principal function, but, nevertheless, an important source of revenue.
