NEW FOR 2007, THE WIN MEETINGS AND EVENTS DIRECTORY!
The Meeting and Events market is growing at a rapid pace. It is estimated that the global conference market is worth a staggering £56 billion and growing at around 10% a year.
The conference and meetings market is estimated to make up between 25% and 40% of corporations’ travel and entertainment budget.
In the UK alone, £6 billion is spent on Business Travel every year compared to £11 billion spent on conferences and events.
In 2005, a MIA UK conference market survey revealed that corporations run an average of 9 events a year and 86% of them choose the location and venue themselves. (TTG Business Magazine – Jan 2006)
For the reasons stated above, WIN has seen a great opportunity for its member countries, current suppliers and customers to launch a directory offering companies assistance, choice and value for money when organising their events.
Our own research has shown that even event organisers within large and small companies can find themselves searching the web or using tourist information bureaus to find suitable locations to meet their requirements. The new directory will offer a wide range of destinations and event opportunities at the turn of a page and at the click of the button, this will not only cut down the search time but also offer WIN value too*
