Cvent Names Top MICE Cities In United States

Jun 17, 2016
Daily

Cvent, Inc. recently released its picks for the top 50 MICE cities in the United States, as well as the top 25 MICE cities in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. The destinations were chosen according to meeting and event booking through Cvent Supplier Network, as well as specific criteria such as available facilities, destination accessibility, quality of facilities and services, safety and price. The top destination for meeting and events in the United States was Orlando, followed by Chicago; Las Vegas; Atlanta; San Diego; New York; Washington, D.C.; Dallas; Nashville; and New Orleans. Orlando has held the top spot for four of the last five years. Chicago and Las Vegas also continue to hold significant spots, as the three cities have continuously vied for No. 1. More than 5,000 U.S. cities were considered. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, London was crowned the best city out of all three regions, followed by Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Frankfurt, Madrid, Brussels and Prague. Dubai held its own for the Middle East, but did not make it into the top 10 destinations. Singapore lead cities in Asia Pacific, with Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Melbourne, Tokyo, Beijing and Seoul rounding out the rest. “Meeting and events are critically important to the economies of cities of all sizes around the world. During the past five years we have tracked how cities across the United States compete. Factors that have often created a difference have included investments in infrastructure, hotel renovations within a city, economic factors that make a destination more appealing and offering an alternative to mainstream destinations. More recently we have been tracking EMEA and APAC locations and are already seeing similar methods of competing. All of these cities can learn from multi-year leader Orlando that the only way to remain on top is to continue investing and innovating to remain competitive year after year,” said Kevin Fliess, vice president of marketing, Hospitality Cloud, Cvent.
