Visit Britain Business Events 2024 Delegate Spend Report
VisitBritain’s Business Events has published its Delegate Spend Report 2024, providing a refreshed perspective on Britain’s business events landscape. Seven years on from the previous report, the updated findings offer valuable insights into expenditure patterns across different types of business event, the growing trend of international delegates extending their trips, travel preferences, intention to return and sustainability perceptions of their host destination.
One of the key findings from the new report reveals a significant rise in average delegate spend for business events in Britain, driven largely by increased overnight stays and international delegates staying longer, alongside year-on-year inflationary increases. Total trip expenditure per delegate has risen by 75% since 2017—from £359 to £629 in 2024 (excluding registration fees).
