세계각국은 컨벤션산업을 21세기 성장을 주도하는 전략산업으로 집중 육성하고 있다. 그러나 우리 나라의 컨벤션 산업은 대형 컨벤션센터의 부재, 국제회의 전문인력의 부족, 국제회의 관련 업의 수도권집중, 항공노선의 부족, 관련업계와의 공조체제 부족, 국제회의정보 부족 등 많은 현안 문제가 있을 뿐 아니라 국제회의 전용시설이 전혀 없는 게 현실이다. 따라서 국가의 이미지 제고, 국제 교역 활성화, 지역개발촉진, 고용기회확대, 세수증대라는 광범위한 파급효과를 가져오는 컨벤션 산업의 육성을 위하여 국내 컨벤션 산업의 실태를 분석하고 그 문제점을 파악하여 개선방안을 제시하는데 목적을 둔다.
