Based Business Home Internet Sydney originally bid for the 2012 Rotary International Convention, but lost last November after a tough battle with rival city Bangkok, Mr Hutchison said. The Rotary International Board has now decided Sydneys 2012 bid was so impressive we deserved to stage the event as well, so awarded us the 2014 event without calling for interest from other cities.

Visitors should be perceptive to local customs and conventions and specialist travel guides should be read.

Business Investment To put in it perspective, an international convention for 5000 delegates is generally considered quite a large event, so the Rotary convention at 22,000 delegates is enormous, Mr Hutchison said. Its a very prestigious event for a city to win.
