International Business Events FORWARD CALENDAR JULY /16 ANALYSIS OF BIDS WON, BIDS LOST AND THE BID PIPELINE
BUREAUX MEMBERS AACB OVERVIEW ABOUT AACB The Association of Australian Convention Bureaux is the peak Australian business events network driving economic prosperity for Australia. The Association brings together Australia s most infl uential city and regional bureaux, dedicated to marketing their specifi c region as premier business events destinations to domestic and international markets. AACB and its members represent more than 1,7 businesses and organisations across the tourism and events spectrum. WHAT ARE CONVENTION BUREAUX? Convention bureaux are the drivers of business events coming to the country with the support of industry. They directly bid for business events affi liated with the fastest growing global industries and facilitate the engagement of local businesses in conventions won for their host destinations. Convention bureaux models vary across Australia, but typically rely on a mix of public funding from state/territory and local governments, and private investment through membership and cooperative marketing programs. ASSOCIATE MEMBERS THE BUSINESS EVENTS INDUSTRY Deloitte Access Economics has described the business events sector as a high-value, fast-growing component of the visitor economy, where one in fi ve dollars spent by international visitors in Australia is spent by an international delegate attending some form of business event. In addition, international delegates spend, on average, 21% more than other international visitors over the course of their trip and 77% more per day. However, the business events sector augments economic activity well beyond directly measurable metrics, underpinning knowledge creation and exchange, innovation and investment among other positive impacts. International business events play a signifi cant role in building a more productive and more diverse Australian economy. Around the world, business events are being used as strategic tools for attracting trade, investment and global talent. Governments invest in the business events sector because they recognise not just the high yield, but also the long-term benefi ts accruing from growth in the visitor and knowledge-based economies. /2
ABOUT THIS REPORT FORWARD CALENDAR ANALYSIS OF BIDS WON The AACB has produced an annual performance report each year since 1998/99. These reports have enabled AACB s members to benchmark their performance on a range of dimensions. However, in line with the organisation s vision, the AACB has developed a new data collection system which allows key market intelligence to be shared frequently with its strategic partners and government stakeholders.
