Today sees the opening of International Confex at Earls Court in London, and your dedicated roaming reporters from "Global Tourism Issues" will be attending tomorrow to try to evaluate the emerging trends from the events sector that have the possibility of a profound effect on travel and tourism...
With this year seeing the staging of the football/soccer world cup in South Africa, no one can deny the effects of "Mega" events as a tourism product, but what of other events? "Hallmark" events may have regional appeal, but can they be developed to push for international status and therefore tourists? Is it all about the product? or is it about staging and timing?
Well, keep tuned in to see if we can find any of these answers (and more) from the "guys" in the know within the events sector...
Barticus.
