More venues experiencing improving event business climate

Industry trade association Eventia claims 25 per cent of UK venues are planning capital investments of at least £100k in 2013, a figure slightly up on 2012; with 53 per cent of venue respondents to Eventia’s 2013 UK Events Market Trends Survey (UKEMTS) claiming the event business climate was improving. The figure had pushed up from 43 per cent in last year’s survey.

The annual research project has been undertaken since 1993 and provides volume and key trends data for the UK conference and business events market from a supply-side or venue perspective.

UKEMTS 2013 complements the UK Economic Impact Study (UKEIS) published last week by the MPI Foundation in conjunction with Leeds Metropolitan University’s International Centre for Research in Events, Tourism and Hospitality at The Meetings Show UK.
