The highly anticipated annual Top Lists,
published for the first time since the pandemic, spotlight top
performing MICE business hotels and sought-after meeting
destinations
Cvent, an industry-leading meetings, events, and hospitality
technology provider, today released its lists of the Top Meeting
Destinations and Top Meeting Hotels for Middle East and Africa.
These lists – which also include regional rankings for North
America, Europe, and Asia Pacific– were compiled based on sourcing
activity through the Cvent Supplier Network (CSN), one of the
world’s largest venue-sourcing platforms. This is the first time
Cvent has published the annual lists since the COVID pandemic
upended the meetings and events industry in early 2020.
"Digital transformation has revolutionised the way hospitality
professionals embrace technology to engage planners and enhance
their sales and marketing efforts to attract meetings and events to
their properties or locales. The pandemic proved how critically
important meetings and events are for bolstering local economies
and our Cvent Top Lists highlight the hotels, venues and
destinations that are enabling a dramatic comeback by capitalising
on the swift return to in-person events. After four long years,
we’re excited to share these insights once again and provide a
resource that is used by event organisers to find great hotels and
destinations and by hospitality professionals looking to set
themselves apart to increase their MICE revenue," said Graham
Pope, Cvent Vice President of International Sales.
Cvent Top Meeting
Destinations
As the top performing region in the world for post-pandemic
tourism recovery, the destinations in the Middle East and Africa
have attracted events to their cities by quickly adapting and
innovating to changing circumstances. Tourism boards continue to
invest heavily in projects with global appeal, including restoring
historical sites and opening new tourist attractions to further
elevate the appeal of these meeting destinations. While Dubai
retained its #1 ranking from 2019, newcomers to the list include
Turkey, with two cities in the Top 10 – Istanbul (#2) and Antalya
(#7), Muscat, Oman (#8) and Tel Aviv, Israel (#10).

expectations. Newcomers to the Top 10 – including InterContinental
Istanbul and Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights – unveiled

Methodology
For Cvent Top Meeting Hotels, Cvent evaluated hotel properties
that generated business through the Cvent Supplier Network between
January 2022 and December 2022. The properties were ranked
according to various criteria, including total requests for
proposals (RFPs), awarded RFPs, total room nights, awarded room
nights, major metropolitan area market share, conversion rate, and
response rate. The criteria are designed to provide the most
accurate reflection of the top meeting hotels in North America,
Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific regions.
For Cvent Top Meeting Destinations, Cvent evaluated 12,500+
cities worldwide listed on the Cvent Supplier Network. Activity was
tracked between January 2022 and December 2022. Rankings were
determined by a set of qualifying criteria, including: the number
of total room nights booked through the Cvent Supplier Network; the
number of unique electronic request-for-proposals (RFPs) sent
through the marketplace to venues within the city; the total value
of the RFPs submitted; and the actual awarded value for meetings
booked.
