Warsaw in Cvent's ranking of the best European destinations in 2019

Warsaw was among the top 25 European destinations in 2019 in a ranking prepared by Cvent. Cvent, a global provider of brokerage services in acquiring offers for the event industry, owns one of the largest networks for recommending and acquiring offers from venues called Cvent Supplier Network. The list of destinations was compiled based on data from a network of search engines, including CSN. In 2018, over USD 16 billion worth of MICE business was confirmed through these networks.

– We are pleased to be listed among the best European cities for MICE business according to Cvent – says Barbara Tutak, President of the Management Board of the Warsaw Tourism Organization. – Our place in this ranking confirms the great effort we put into promoting Warsaw as an ideal destination for MICE events, which is followed by positive financial indicators.

“The meetings industry is a $1.5 trillion global economy, so we know that the destinations on this list have put a lot of time and effort into attracting meeting planners to their cities,” says Chris McAndrews, Vice President of Marketing at Cvent Hospitality Cloud. “Leading destinations work closely with their hotels and properties to offer unique experiences that help meeting planners make their events memorable and engaging.”

To compile the current, eighth destination ranking, Cvent analyzed more than 11,000 cities from around the world featured on its website. Business activity was measured from January to December 2018, and cities were ranked based on the following criteria:

  • Number of inquiries received
  • Number of person-days in the destination from the received inquiries
  • Number of confirmed queries
  • Number of person days from confirmed events
  • Percentage of qualified event venues
  • Number of profile views
