Cape Town
The 4h edition of Event Tourism Forum, will focus on the value of Sport Events and to date more than 100 municipalities have benefited from this highly informative content and the key discussions will once again be higly interactive with the focus on how municipalities, provincial and national government could effectively report on events they are funding or supporting for purposes of measuring their economic impact in terms of the unified service delivery mandate and framework respectively.
The discussion points at the Forum will focus on both government’s return on investment (ROI) as well as its return on objectives (ROO). It is accepted now a days that government should not only focus on the ROI of a supported event but also whether the event aligns itself with the its overall service delivery objectives, meaning the ROO. Government is well advised to first benchmark an event seeking its support using the key principles of ROI and ROO to determine whether it projects sustainability and to allow government to assess whether its money well spent should it decide to provide both financial and technical support.
As usual, the Forum will feature a host of industry experts, sharing their thought leadership with our delegates on the key “measurement ingredients” required to support successful sport events.
