The UK Leads the way……
I have just read the results of a recent survey by Conference & Incentive Travel, which reveals that London has been named the best conference destination in the world, with Manchester also ranking well in third place.
This is the fourth year running that London has topped the poll and with the benefits that the ‘Olympic effect’ will undoubtedly bring to the capital city, it is hard to see the title being challenged in the near future – which is great news for the UK events industry.
Manchester’s position is also a very encouraging sign for the UK, as the city has spent a lot of money investing in its conference infrastructure and I’m delighted that these developments are starting to be recognised.
Aside from the British successes in the poll, I must confess to being a little surprised to see that Athens has dropped out of the top 5 all together, as we have produced many events there and always found the venues and facilities to be excellent. However, if these results really are a true reflection of the standard of these conference destinations, it can only be a good thing for the industry.
