The Department of Culture, Media and Sport has published a Strategy for the Business Visits and Events Industry in Britain.

The Strategy makes 20 recommendations covering UK wide and England specific proposals on governance, infrastructure and funding, visas and welcome; marketing and strategic partnerships; best practice and expertise.

Proposals are also included to target support for events covering three distinct tiers: Those that have a global high profile which should be held in Britain; those that require support to optimise their investment value to the UK and those that would benefit from more local support to highlight the wider economic benefits to local areas.
