Ahead of the country's federal election, the Business Events Council of Australia (BECA) reportedly is lobbying the political parties for A$10m annual funding to improve Australia’s position as a global events destination.
BECA says Australia is “struggling to compete with our Asian neighbours,” and that a National Business Events fund would help the industry to win bids.
BECA chairman Geoff Donaghy said business events already deliver A$17.3 billion in direct revenue to the national economy.
