THE BEST MEETING DESTINATIONS IN NEW EUROPE
In case you missed The Meetings Star Award Ceremony at the start of 2022, we have created an executive summary of the best meeting destinations across Europe. The official announcement of this year’s winners and the Meetings Star gala award ceremony will take place during Conventa 2023 in February next year.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Meeting Experience Index (MTLG), an original matrix for evaluating destinations, published every year by Kongres Magazine. It is a reference system that enables a realistic comparison of destinations over time.
The Meeting Experience Index is one of the most complex destination evaluations that is not only based on the number of congress events but delves deeper analytically. The methodology addresses all key meetings industry segments and thus all key MICE products. 75 evaluation criteria are used to determine the final destination score. That is why the Meeting Experience Index has become the bedrock for selecting destinations for meeting planners.
