Major and mega events bring in hundreds of
millions, if not billions of dollars to Australia,
provide amazing exposure for the host city
and state as a tourist destination and
generate thousands of jobs for Australians. Australia's ability to host events of this scale was given a massive boost with the largest worldwide event - Sydney 2000 Olympic Games - being hailed as an unqualified success. Cleanevent was an integral part of the Games' operational success. And this is just the start. Our dance card is filling quickly with organisers of many of the world's mega and major events signing up for their turn in Australia. This year we have the 2001 Goodwill Games, next year it's the 2002 Gay Games, the Rugby World Cup in 2003 and the Commonwealth Games in 2006. Events tourism is already big business for |
Australia and still represents enormous potential.
In addition to ticket sales and pre and post-touring,
it's about highlighting our facilities,
developing infrastructure and generating jobs. Events provide Australian businesses - as well as the country - with enormous exposure. Cleanevent, and other Australian suppliers, have honed their skills on domestic events and are now exporting them to the world. From catering and cleaning, to architecture, finance, marketing and organising, Australian firms are now in high international events management demand. Cleanevent's excellence in service delivery, its recycling approach and commitment to staff training is an invaluable event legacy, and an outstanding example of an Australian business which has captured the attention of organisers of major and mega events around the world. |
