has overtaken all other Australian States in rankings of global destinations hosting the most number of international conventions in 2004.
Brisbane undertook 29 international events and Cairns 17, giving Queensland total of 46. This compares to Victoria’s 33 and New South Wales’ 31.
The data on international meetings is compiled annually by the Amsterdam based International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) which ranked Australia number eight overall in the world.
The annual ICCA Report for the association market presents a comprehensive analysis of trends in international meetings. Every year, the new ICCA figures are anxiously awaited by destinations around the world, all competing for a share of the lucrative market.
In the Brussels-based International Association of Congress Centre’s (AIPC) 2004 world’s best venue rankings announced last July, two Queensland convention centres, Cairns and Brisbane, were named number one and two respectively.
Both centres are operated by Brisbane-based Ogden IFC which is the largest venue management company in the Asia Pacific Region, with responsibility for 15 major facilities. |
