ADELAIDE Convention Tourism Authority (ACTA) has won the bid to host the 2014 World Aquaculture Congress.

The major world congress is one of the largest to be held in the state of South Australia with more than 3,000 delegates and 200 exhibitors expected to attend the four-day event, with a projected injection of A$11.5 million (US$10 million) into the local economy.

Damien Kitto, ACTA CEO, said: “The win is testament to ACTA's Conventions Adelaide programme and our 'Team Adelaide' approach...which they saw firsthand, what South Australia has to offer in terms of products and services.”
