(1) It is not my role to negotiate flights in association with events, as I am not a travel agent.
(2) The Member will need to be more specific about which $3m commitment he is referring to.
(3) Eventscorp undertakes an independent economic impact analysis every two to three years on its major events. An independent economic impact analysis was conducted on the 2009 One Movement for Music event, which determined that visitors to the event stayed 3 700 nights and injected $1.3m into the Western Australian economy. Another independent economic impact analysis is scheduled for the 2011 One Movement for Music event.
