Economic Benefit
The Business Events industry is the highest yielding sector of the tourism industry, providing $1.2 billion annually for the Victorian economy. Business Events promote Melbourne’s expertise and innovation to the world and attract world leaders and investment decision makers who would otherwise not come to Melbourne. International convention delegates come to Melbourne and spend (on average) five to six times that of the international leisure tourist which provides significant returns for city businesses.
The City of Melbourne supports the Business Event sector in a number of ways by offering two rounds of sponsorship, and works with stakeholders such as MCVB and MCEC to provide tourism services for delegates visiting Melbourne. See more about the economic impact of business events.
