Portrait Of European Meetings And Convention Travel

European destinations and tourism industry stakeholders have a tremendous opportunity to lead their community recovery based on when and how the meetings industry will bounce back from COVID-19. Current studies in the market look at basic meeting planner sentiment, but it is crucial to also understand the mindsets of attendees and corporate decision-makers. Leaders need to make important decisions regarding capital investments, marketing budgets, and overall growth and development strategies. It is also essential to gain a clear and timely understanding of what meetings and conventions look like in the future to guide these decisions.

MMGY Travel Intelligence recently completed the first wave of the Meetings & Conventions study in the U.S., which revealed profound differences about perception and behaviours among planners and attendees. Based on the success and popularity of the U.S. research, a European-based Meeting & Convention study is next.

In cooperation with IMEX Group and MMGY Hills Balfour, a division of MMGY Global,  MMGY Travel Intelligence Europe will design and field a tracking survey twice to understand the mindsets, intentions and preferences of meeting, conference and convention attendees. In order to compare their perspectives with the ones of those responsible for industry planning efforts, MMGY Travel Intelligence will also survey meetings professionals to gauge their views. Meeting attendees ultimately drive the future direction of the M&C industry. Having an informed perspective on what they think and comparing it to the current perspectives of meetings professionals will provide sponsors with substantial insight into the landscape likely to emerge in the coming months and years. The survey will be fielded to attendees in the U.K., Germany, France and The Netherlands with a sample size of 400 per country, or 1,600 in total. The survey will be fielded to planners throughout Europe and the U.K.
