Business Events 2030 is Ireland's new business events strategy.
The purpose of Business Events 2030 is to promote the development of our world-class business events sector and realise the full economic benefits of business events for Ireland.
Business travel has long been recognised as a key driver for economic growth. As one of the highest-yielding tourism segments, it contributes more than €1 billion to the economy annually, €290 million to the Exchequer, and supports 22,000 jobs.
Business Events 2030 is an ambitious strategy that is a product of collaboration between the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Fáilte Ireland, Tourism Ireland, industry leaders from the tourism sector, and public bodies including IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, Universities of Ireland and the Institute of Public Health.
The strategy sets out a clear roadmap to drive an average annual revenue growth rate of 8% to 2030, benefitting the tourism ecosystem, our SMEs and local economies across the country.
