Business Events Australia is a specialist business unit of Tourism Australia, dedicated to promoting Australia internationally as a business events destination.

Business Events Australia delivers marketing, partnership and distribution activities to raise international awareness and consideration of Australia as a business events destination. Tourism Australia focuses on the international business events markets that can provide the highest return on investment for Australia. Key markets for Business Events Australia are China, North America, UK/Europe and New Zealand.

Economic contribution and potential

Business events are major contributors to the Australian visitor economy. International business events visitors spend on average twice as much as leisure visitors during their trip to Australia. In addition, business events provide benefits to Australia beyond the economic. They showcase Australia’s capabilities in event delivery and key knowledge sectors, develop trade and investment relationships, and are catalysts for information sharing. In addition, business events provide a platform for international visitors to extend their stay in Australia for leisure purposes, and establishes strong connections that can lead to return visitation to Australia in future.

Tourism Australia’s activity

Tourism Australia’s activities include brand and content marketing, educational visits, trade engagement and events that provide opportunities for Australia’s business events industry to meet with international business events planners and media to grow their business.

There are many ways the Australian industry can work with Tourism Australia including exhibiting on the Australia stand at international business events trade shows and attending Tourism Australia’s own events like the Business Events Australia Greater China Showcase and Dreamtime, its signature incentive showcase.

Tourism Australia also has a range of resources available, including research on the target customer and business events market profiles that can help industry develop their product and message for an international business events audience. 

Please read the Working with Business Events Australia page for more information on the work of Business Events Australia and how to get involved.
