Destination Research 



Domestic United States:
Orlando and Las Vegas held their positions in first and third compared to last year's list of top 50 USA cities for meetings.  Chicago jumped to second place and Atlanta and San Diego advanced into the top five. New York, which just missed the top ten last year at number eleven, moved up to number six this year. 

The reason these cities are in the top ten may be the key to locating your domestic meeting.


International:
Should your International meeting or event be in Asia because so much is happening there?  If you are considering Europe for your event should you choose Western Europe for an iconic capital or Eastern Europe where so much has changed in the last ten years?  Is the Middle East a great location for your meeting? Or should you be considering Latin America with all of the recent global attention and the corresponding new infrastructure?  We specialize in international destination research.
With your guidelines we can answer questions and find the right location and the right Destination Management Company (DMC), tailored to your needs.  Our service includes a Power Point Presentation which means less work for you.
