The Texan city’s tourism website announced it jumped two spaces from last year’s rankings to No. 6.
The 50 Best Cities to Meet in the United States is presented by Cvent, based on the event management firm’s online meeting and booking activity.
“We are honored to be ranked among the top meetings and events destination cities in the country by Cvent,” said Phillip Jones, president and CEO, VisitDallas. “Earning a spot on this ranking validates the significant effort we put into making Dallas an ideal location for corporate meetings, a critical driver of local economic activity.”
The announcement and the jump comes in the year following one where record numbers of tourists visited the city, VisitDallas said.
Cvent surveyed more than 5,000 U.S. cities in compiling the list and tracked numbers Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2017. Criteria for the decision included the number of room nights spent in cities, unique request proposals, profile views and more.
Orlando took the top spot, followed by Las Vegas and Chicago in spots two and three, respectively.
