stays x 430 Euro average expenditure per day); 80% directly in Hamburg securing 1.800 jobs, 1.400 in Hamburg itself indirect advantage: access of Hamburg‘s clusters, universities etc. to
knowledge and international exchange
CCH – value for Hamburg
Oberthema... (weiß) Bitte überschreiben.Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben.CCH – City commitment
CCH - meeting facility outdated; estimated investment < 200 mil. Euro. Alternatives: phasing out + close down or revitalise
market 2011 in Germany + 3,5 % growth (2,25 mil. meetings with 101,5 mil. participants; turnover 66 billion Euro);stagnation of small meetings < 50 participants; increase of larger meetings
closing down has negative effects on industry: No national or international visibility without congress center; all well known congress cities have at least one big center seating 5.000 to 10.000. Top destinations like Vienna, Berlin or Barcelona dispose of several centers.
internet will not replace face to face networking and presentation of products or rearch results: Increasing global division of labour leads to a rising demand for platforms for personal exchange, dissemination of information, knowledge and business contacts. Acquisition of qualified workforce and companies.Interaction with own clusters.

Oberthema... (weiß) Bitte überschreiben.Unterthema... (blau) Bitte überschreiben.Conclusion
Convention and meeting industry is of major economic and social importance to Hamburg
a convention bureau is vital, as a congress center will not be able to market a destination with its meeting portfolio in total
a large congress center has a lighthouse role and contributes to the marketing of the City itself and to the success of the meetings industry
a congress center is a vital platform for economic (cluster) or scientific ambitions and a source of know-how transfer to the region
however, there is no need to run everything 100% on public funds; ppp is a realistic alternative
Inevitably there will be a deficit for the city budget, but an overall advantage for the industry, retail, jobs etc.
