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 VisitYork4Meetings to generate additional income for your business.
If you have meeting facilities, or a service that would appeal to the events market, or accommodation you would like to make available through our accommodation booking service let us know and we can help place business directly with you and promote your organisation to this lucrative industry.
