Meeting planners concerned about rising airfares

So what are meeting planners worried about these days?
Rising airfares and how they will affect their destination choices, says the latest MiMegasite.com poll.
“The latest poll…found that 43% of respondents said airfares are currently a strong factor in their destination,” it said. “Further, 40%…said that if airfares keep rising, they will become a strong factor in destination choices for meetings.”
Fifteen percent of those polled said airfares are not currently near the level that would make air costs a deciding factor in the choice of meeting destinations.
But chances are oil prices will continue to rise, a possible blow to the meeting market in the future.
