Research reveals events sector is boosting economy

The trade body for the events industry, Eventia has announced the overall value of the conference and business events market is worth £18.8 billion to the UK economy.
Eventia hopes that the findings from its UK Events Market Trend Survey (UKEMTS) will confirm the importance of the events sector to the national economy.
Other findings include the news that the number of events held at each venue had dropped slightly to 379 compared to 391 in 2008. However, many venue providers are optimistic about the future with 65 per cent of the venues planning to invest in their property in 2010, and nine per cent spending more than £1 million to do it.
