QUEENSLAND BUSINESS EVENTS SURVEY INFO SESSION RECAP
The Queensland Business Events Survey (QBES) is conducted for Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) to evaluate and enhance the performance of Queensland’s business events sector. TEQ maintains funding agreement with EGC to attract and secure meetings, conferences, and incentive events for the state.
Through these partnerships, Queensland benefits from significant economic stimulus, increased opportunities for business clients to host events in the region, greater value and profit potential for local operators, and an overall enhancement of the city’s competitiveness in the national and international events market.
Thank you to those partners that were able to attend the information session last week. For those who couldn’t, please find the recording below:
