Keen to reach business visitors and promote your conference venue?
Business travellers typically spend twice as much per trip than leisure visitors, address seasonality and offer enormous potential for return leisure visits. In the UK, business tourism continues to grow and is worth in excess of £22 billion in terms of its wider economic impact.
In York business tourism contributes £142m to the local economy attracting around 20,000 events per year and just fewer than 1 million business visitors per year.
Maximise every business tourism opportunity available and work with Make It York to generate additional income for your business. If you have meeting facilities or a service that would appeal to the events market, let us know and we can help promote your organisation to the international events industry.
Make It York works actively with the MICE (meetings, incentives, conference, exhibitions) market, attending a number of trade workshops, sales missions and exhibitions in the UK throughout the year to engage with conference buyers, agencies and key decision makers’ within the meetings industry.
Why exhibit with us?
