34  are using conference facilities on the offer at airports .  Busy executives are also

35  staying there overnight to avoid the difficulty of getting there for take an early morning

36  meeting . And it makes senses for our international meetings to be held at airports . It is

37  principally through the improvement  in  airport  hotels  that  has  enabled  this

38  development to take place .  Today these mini-conference centers provide services are

39  designed for business travelers , look like a quick check-in and round-the-clock restaurants,

40  so they can get to work as quickly as possible  .  They are also less expensive place

41  than their city center counterparts.  Not  long  years  ago,  airports  hotels  were

42  uncomfortable ,  unattractive and inconvenient for as far as the business traveler was

43  concerned .  Yet now that there is strong interest ,  as travelers become aware of the

44  new facilities . Demand for small meeting rooms is huge , usually for interview or one-

45  to-one meetings , where executives fly in and out of the same day.  The age of the airport is upon us .
