Evaluation of TAP

The purpose of this evaluation was to review the economic rationale for the Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP), to assess the value for money it generates for the taxpayer and to make recommendations with a view to increasing benefits relative to costs.

The evaluation was undertaken in two parts concurrently -a literature review on the economics of trade shows and the role of the public sector; and an impact evaluation. The evaluation gathered and analysed a rich range of new evidence, as well as making full use of existing monitoring data

In keeping with normal UKTI practice, the evaluation was overseen by an Advisory Group which included three senior academics as well as policy officials and evaluation specialists
