Brisbane Economic Development Agency’s Post

As the countdown to the Brisbane Olympics continues, what lessons can planners learn from upcoming major events like the Rugby World Cup 2027, to create a seamless and efficient transport experience for visitors and locals during the Games. Brisbane City Executive Paul Allan and Business Director - Mobility Advisory Canada, Margaret Parkhill recently spoke to the Brisbane Times about the city’s planning and transport strategies as it prepares for the 2032 Games. Margaret said, "You’ve got to get athletes to and from venues, media and volunteers where they need to go. There are also a lot of goods that we need to get moved around. All of that is going to require really good integrated planning across all transport modes. We do have to think about trucks, as well as cars and people and trains and buses, and integrating across a lot of the different stakeholders.” Read the article here: https://okt.to/W3KPDl #BrisbaneOlympics2032 #TransportPlanning #Infrastructure

Supporting SEQ's Event Industry Through Change As South East Queensland (SEQ) gears up for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, it’s essential to consider the ripple effects on the region's dynamic event industry. Iconic events like the "Let’s Go Queensland Caravan & Camping Supershow" are more than just expos—they’re vital economic drivers, supporting thousands of jobs and businesses statewide. However, challenges such as venue unavailability, redevelopment, and logistical disruptions during Olympic preparations could pose significant risks to events throughout SEQ. To safeguard the future of SEQ’s event industry, we urge stakeholders to take action: assess the potential impacts on existing events, provide clear timelines and relocation support, and prioritise retention funding to protect these valuable contributors. By working together and planning with foresight, we can ensure the Games leave a legacy that not only celebrates the Olympic movement but strengthens the communities, industries, and organisations that make Queensland's event industry truly exceptional. #SEQEvents #2032Olympics #QueenslandEvents #OlympicLegacy #CaravanIndustry

This week, the British Open (the Open) could generate an astounding US$380 million in revenue to Scotland as a whole. The Open takes centre stage at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland. Here's a look at the economic impact of this prestigious golf event: Broadcasting: Broadcasting rights alone are worth at least an estimated US$75 million annually, showcasing the global appeal of this event. In 2017, NBC started broadcasting the annual July tournament in the US on a new deal spanning 12 years at US$50 million per year. Purse: The purse size for the Open has reached US$17 million, with the winner taking home the highest share in the history of the Open: US$3.1 million. The Open has the smallest purse size of golf’s four major championships. Sponsors: Main sponsors include Rolex, HSBC, Mercedes-Benz, and Nikon. Sponsors typically leverage high-profile TV moments with players for exposure, such as Rolex clocks at tee boxes or players arriving to the course in a Mercedes-Benz. Tickets and merchandise: Ticket revenue and merchandise are also major contributors. With projected attendance around 250,000 spectators over the week, attendance is expected to be the third highest ever for the Open, and surely the merchandise stands will be absolutely rammed. Local impact: With plenty of spectators expected, the economic impact on the local community around Royal Troon Golf Club is profound. An estimated US$100 million will be injected into the local economy, with hotels, restaurants, and other local businesses reaping the benefits. Venue: Royal Troon Golf Club is a historic venue. Established in 1878, it has hosted the Open nine times. The course most recently hosted the Open in 2016, which featured an epic showdown between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson. Stenson tied the lowest-ever major score (63). The Postage Stamp: Royal Troon is known for its challenging links layout and iconic holes, such as the Postage Stamp. The eight hole par-3 is only 123 yards, but the green spans a mere 2500 square feet with hazards located all around the green.   ______ The influx of visitors to Royal Troon showcases the region to a global audience, which will lead to increased tourism and business opportunities for the region in the future. The Open is not just a week-long golf tournament; it's a significant long-term economic driver for the community. #Sports #SportsBusiness #SportsBiz #LinkedInSports #Golf
