smartroam’s Top 3 Tips for Business Travel to Major Sporting Events

A jam-packed summer of sports is upon us, featuring everything from football and athletics to racing, offering something for everyone. Corporate businesses worldwide are grasping this opportunity to blend business with once-in-a-lifetime trips to events around the globe. If you’re gearing up for a major sporting event with business on the agenda, you’ve come to the right place. Here are our top three tips to ensure your business trip, and any future ones, are a success!

1. Stay Connected with eSIM Technology

First up, let’s talk about staying connected. Whether you’re coordinating with colleagues, sharing event updates with clients, or simply keeping in touch with loved ones back home, connectivity is key. Enter smartroam’s eSIM technology – your new best friend for international travel.

Why eSIM?

With an eSIM, you can switch to local networks without the hassle of swapping out physical SIM cards. This means you can roam freely and avoid the often-exorbitant roaming charges that come with traditional SIM cards.

Imagine being able to instantly share the excitement of the opening ceremony with your team or update clients with real-time results, all without worrying about connectivity issues. With smartroam’s eSIM, you’re covered. Just reach out to a member of our team to find out more!

2. Plan Your Itinerary Carefully

Major sporting events attract millions of visitors, making for a busy and bustling environment. With that in mind, having a well-thought-out itinerary is crucial.

Here’s how to plan effectively:

• Research and Book in Advance: Accommodation and transportation options fill up quickly. Make your bookings as early as possible to avoid last-minute stress.

• Mix Business with Pleasure: Schedule meetings and networking events around key sporting events you want to attend. This way, you can enjoy the event while taking care of business.

• Make Use of Technology: Apps like Google Maps, event-specific apps, and travel organisers can help keep your itinerary on track. Set reminders for important meetings and events to ensure you don’t miss a thing.

A well-planned itinerary ensures that you not only make the most of your time but your guests are prepared for what is to come!

3. Embrace Cultural Opportunities

Sporting events on the main stage are not just about sports; they’re also a celebration of global cultures. Embrace this opportunity to engage with the local culture and traditions of the host city. Many host cities organise cultural festivals and exhibitions alongside sporting events. Consider attending these events with your customers and colleagues to enhance their experience.

For all those traveling to major sporting events, smartroam wishes you safe travels and hopes you have fun!
