This no doubt includes many business travellers who, on their missions, might dream of following in the footsteps of their favourite hero. However, apart from a few senior executives, it is far, far from certain that their company will give them permission to do so. For the most famous of secret agents has never really gone without. To mark the release of <em>Dying can wait <\/em>in 2021, travel management specialist Travel Perk had some fun evaluating <strong>the size of its expense accounts<\/strong> for each of its missions. A very instructive control of expenditure...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the last one, for example <em>Dying can wait<\/em>007's travel budget came to \u00a37,896, with a bottle of Ch\u00e2teau l'Angelus at \u00a31,524, a flight from London to Sapporo at \u00a34,662, a Heineken at \u00a35 and a flight from Bari to Montego Bay in Jamaica at \u00a3318. Si non e vero, e bene trovato: in any case, all 25 of his missions cost the British taxpayer \u00a3132,931, including \u00a35,000 spent on alcohol alone, courtesy of Bollinger and Martini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dukesbar-1-1024x651-derived.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dukesbar-1-1024x651-derived.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dukesbar-1-300x191-derived.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dukesbar-1-768x488-derived.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/dukesbar-1.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Bar in the Dukes Hotel, London, where Ian Fleming was a regular.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To give a '007' flavour to a trip to London, business travellers can always go to the Dukes Hotel, in the heart of Mayfair. Author Ian Fleming was a regular at the bar there, finding inspiration for <strong>his legendary 'shaken, not stirred' line<\/strong>. Always known for its Dukes Martini, the hotel offers a more affordable alternative for business travellers to combine their passion for cinema with the demands of their company's wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corporate events can also provide an opportunity to get together in the footsteps of Mr Bond. The Miramonti Majestic, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, for example, has the <strong>the Italian resort's largest convention centre, <\/strong>pretty much in its original state. In Switzerland, the Burgenstock hotel, overlooking Lake Lucerne, played host to the film crews of <em>Goldfinger<\/em> for a month in 1964. Since then, under the impetus of investor Katara Hospitality, it has been transformed into a vast resort with four hotels and 383 rooms. Dedicated to relaxation with a 10,000 m\u00b2 spa and 10 bars and restaurants, the establishment also boasts a conference centre of over 2,000 m\u00b2, with its vast Ballroom overlooking the lake and... a cinema as its focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if there is one hotel where the James Bond atmosphere is<strong> at its climax<\/strong>the Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, whose neo-baroque fa\u00e7ade will live long in the memory of anyone who has seen it. <em>Casino Royale<\/em>. A centuries-old resort ideally suited to conferences and business meetings, with a casino and, as a highlight, a prestigious ballroom that can accommodate 700 people on the ground floor and over 350 more on the balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, for far-flung incentives, companies can also head for the Bahamas, to the Ocean Club, a prestigious 107-room resort lying on the edge of a paradise beach and offering 2,000 m\u00b2 of meeting space. Opened in 1962 and now managed by Four Seasons, the hotel has twice played host to James Bond, first as Sean Connery in <em>Operation Thunderbolt<\/em>and Daniel Craig in <em>Casino Royale<\/em>. An idyllic setting surrounded by 14 hectares of gardens and French-style lawns, where participants will find a host of sporting activities to suit their tastes, from golf to scuba diving, before ending the evening at the Martini Bar &amp; Lounge. \"\u00a0<em>James Bond-approved<\/em>\" as advertised on the Four Seasons website.
