What impact does the development of convention and exhibition industry have on the city?

The impact of the development of convention and exhibition industry on the city is to promote the development of tourism, transportation and hotel industry.

The development of convention and exhibition industry will promote the development of tourism: as we all know, every activity of convention and exhibition industry will bring a large population to the host city. While attending exhibitions or conferences, many exhibitors will go to tourist attractions in this city for tourism and consumption in their spare time, which will further promote the development of tourism economy in this area.

The development of convention and exhibition industry will promote the development of transportation industry: at least, a convention and exhibition activity will attract a large number of exhibitors, bring people, increase traffic demand and bring traffic economic income. To the maximum extent, the host city of convention and exhibition center with larger scale and higher reputation will have higher requirements for aviation and transportation facilities.

The development of convention and exhibition industry will drive the development of hotel industry. During the holding of exhibition activities, we will find that the hotel occupancy rate and the number of people dining in the exhibition host city, especially near the exhibition venues, will be greatly improved, many of which are due to the tourists brought by the exhibition activities, which have brought benefits to the hotel in accommodation, catering and entertainment.

Characteristics of convention and exhibition industry

Leading authority in the industry: strong macro-control ability and orderly domestic exhibition market. AUMA, founded in 1907, is the highest association of German exhibition industry. Although it is a consortium of exhibitors, buyers and Expo organizers, it bears many government functions and has strong authority.

Highlight the government service function: attach importance to the overall image construction of exhibition destinations. The Convention and Exhibition Department of Singapore Tourism Board, established in 1974, takes promotion, information provision and coordination as its main functions.

Emphasize the support and guidance of the government: the development of exhibition economy needs advanced infrastructure. The government's initial capital investment directly affects the development speed of urban convention and exhibition economy. At the same time, how to use emerging industries to support the economic development of economically underdeveloped areas is also a problem for countries that adopt the government-led exhibition development model.
