Interesting use of data. 1.5million and £1.7billion are huge numbers which paints a positive picture. It is only once you look deeper does the real story appear. Compared with 2019 pre-Covid visitor numbers are down by between 1-22% except Scotland. With total inbound visitors at 93% of 2019 levels. Expenditure is nominally higher across all regions than 2019, but and it is a big but, that figure hasn’t takes into account inflation which was 21% between 2019-2022 and 7% in 2023. Although not a numbers expert I would hazard a guess that if the figures were adjusted income is less than 2019 levels. Moral of this story, sometimes good stuff isn’t always that good.

Have your heard what they are saying about the state of events for corporations in 2024? I encourage you to listen to this short clip that underscores the indispensable role of events within our organizations. This serves as a pivotal reminder for all businesses of the influence on the financial health of the company that events have. Think about what your investing into your events team and the impact that is going to make to your bottom line? Your Chief Events Officer, Director of Events, Events Manager, and Event Coordinators all need to be aligned and deep within their knowledge base as they will impact your company from from the roots. Events in the corporate world act as the cohesive force intertwining digital marketing, customer experience, cognitive engagement, and the overall brand journey, among other dynamic elements. A strong and good events team is instrumental in enhancing the sales process, and as it says in the report over half of the sales that close can be attributed back to events a buyer has interacted with. The era of assigning event responsibilities to untrained personnel or the company admin is behind us. Modern corporations must entrust their event management to skilled professionals or teams who are adept at offering strategic counsel, mitigating risks, and crafting memorable strategic experiences. #EventPlanning #CorporateEvents #BusinessStrategy #CustomerExperience #EventProfessionals #StrategicPlanning #RiskManagement #EventIndustry
