IAPCO Council meets Northern Ireland Business Tourism Representatives at ICC Belfast
The IAPCO Council Meeting is hosted this week by Tourism Northern Ireland in Belfast.
The international panel met with representatives from Tourism Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council, Visit Belfast, Visit Derry and ICC Belfast as well as industry professionals and key political stakeholders. Securing conferencing and business events is deemed a critical driver in the region’s economic recovery post-Covid.
According to Tourism Northern Ireland’s recently launched Integrated Strategy for Business Events in Northern Ireland, it is estimated that the sector could deliver £209 million in direct economic impact, and up to 2000 new jobs by 2030.
