Business tourism revenue to break €10m

The value of business tourism generated by the Cork Convention Bureau (CCB) looks set to break the €10m barrier for the first time this year.

But if the trend continues, the city could face a hotel beds shortage within a few years, it warned.

The details emerged last night as the CCB, which is tasked with generating and attracting conference business to the city, hosted its largest #KeepCorkMeeting event in the city in a bid to drum up more international conference meetings and events in the region.
