CONNECT has been hosted at some of the world’s most stunning destinations. The airport hosts see significant growth following CONNECT, and you could, too! With a strong growth dynamic and a 98% delegate satisfaction rate, CONNECT attracts more new airlines and airports every year, with over 60 countries now represented.
Economic Benefits of Hosting CONNECT
CONNECT act as a catalyst for bringing together local and regional stakeholders to demonstrate the potential assets of the host destination. This happens in every aspect of the event, from the welcome at the airport, to the gala dinner, through countless interactions with airline decision-makers.
The destination stakeholders will benefit from a long-term image boost, which is intensified before, during and after the event through strong multi-channel communication.
The economic impact is direct (new contracts and deals formed at the event, tourism revenue generated by delegates attendance), indirect (further business on the back of the event) and induced (long term impact through the extended economic partners associated to increased connectivity and passenger number).
