Metodología: ICCA: gasto del delegado internacional (US$561/día) y estadía promedio de congreso (2.5 noches) · ProColombia: gasto del delegado nacional (US$175/día) · Multiplicador económico regional: 2.5× — Secretaría de Hacienda de Cartagena, adaptado para el contexto de un destino MICE emergente en América Latina. Esta cifra es consistente con los puntos de referencia de la industria internacional (informe de Oxford Economics / Events Industry Council de 2.60× para mercados maduros como EE. UU.). Empleos (equivalente a FTE): Gasto directo ÷ US$13,556/empleo-año — proporción derivada de la Cuenta Satélite de Turismo (CST) del DANE 2025 (preliminar), según análisis de ProColombia. Refleja el promedio nacional del sector turístico; un ajuste específico para Cartagena/MICE está pendiente de certificación formal por parte de la Secretaría de Hacienda Distrital.

Sources: Flights: ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator (2024) round-trip direct CO2 per delegate by region, consistent with GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 6 core reporting. Figure reflects direct CO2 only; it does not include supplementary non-CO2 aviation warming effects (e.g., contrails, NOx radiative forcing at altitude), which some frameworks estimate could add an additional ~1.7x to the climate impact of flights. Available as a supplementary disclosure on request. Accommodation: 8.5 kg CO₂e/room night (certified hotel, Latam average) [PENDING SOURCE reference the original study/benchmark]. Venue energy: Colombian national grid 0.126 kg CO₂/kWh (MinEnergía 2023) × 0.22 kWh/person/hour. Catering: 1.5 kg CO₂e/meal × 3 meals/day × type factor [PENDING SOURCE reference the original study/benchmark]. Comparison destinations use same accommodation and catering; flight factor fixed to Latam average (0.8 t). US grid 0.386 (EPA 2023), EU average 0.25 (EEA 2023).
