Augusta CVB Announces October Direct Visitor Spending Totals $3.5M
Thursday, October 1st, 2015
The Augusta Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the Augusta Sports Council (ASC) are pleased to announce that visitors attending meetings, reunions, events and/or sporting events in Augusta will generate at least $3,253,084.40 in direct visitor spending over the month of October. Sporting events, conventions and meetings are listed in the chart below for greater detail.
Two meetings generating the most direct visitor spending are the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association’s generating more than $650,000.00 with 400 meeting delegates and the Georgia Association of School Business Officials generating more than $670,000.00 with 350 meeting delegates.
Direct visitor spending is calculated based on research commissioned by both the Georgia Department of Economic Development and Destination Marketing Association International in conjunction with globally recognized research vendors, the US Travel Association and Tourism Economics. Tourism Economics, a partner company of Oxford Economics, created the industry standard in event economic impact analysis using localized metrics that are updated annually.
The list below represents just a small portion of the total number of events in Augusta this month. These are groups the Augusta CVB or ASC have worked with at some point in the site selection and/or planning phase.
