Orlando was named the top spot for a major convention, trade show, conference or seminar, says Metropoll.
The study surveyed more than a thousand decision makers at major corporations and associations and asked them to rank 40 major US destinations on a variety of factors including quality of hotel meeting and convention center facilities; overall destination support; overall destination image; value for the money; location; and “green” practices.
Among findings:
• Orlando ranked #1 overall as a convention destination.
• Orlando ranked #1 for intent to hold a major meeting in the next three years.
• Orlando ranked the #1 destination among corporate meeting planners
• Out of 25 travel destination attributes, Orlando ranked in the top 10 on 15.
• Of 21 convention center attributes, Orlando ranked #1 on 15.
