Cambridge Conference Centre Feasibility Study
Cambridge Conference Centre Feasibility Study By 2028 the Cambridge sub-region is expected to grow in population by approximately 110,000 people from its 2001 population of c 552,000. According to the brief issued by Cambridgeshire Horizons this increase in population can be seen as either an opportunity or a threat to the quality of life enjoyed by existing communities – much will depend on the extent to which the existing infrastructure can be enhanced to support the scale of growth proposed.

The study compared the demand-supply match with other heritage destinations such as York, Bath, Oxford and Chester.

A Conference Centre for Norwich A feasibility study into a conference centre requires a thorough understanding of the business tourism market. Tourism UK has prepared Business Tourism Strategies for three of the UKs Regional Development Agencies and as such has unrivalled knowledge in this area.

Testing the options requires consideration not only of the demand for facilities in that area but also of the appeal of the destination brand. In the association conference market particularly the appeal of the destination brand is important in selecting a location for the conference.
