BELFAST REALLY MAKES SENSE

COMPARISON WITH THE REGION

One thing that meeting organisers are especially enthusiastic about is how compact the city is. All the main venues and hotels are within the wider city centre, all of which are within walking distance. The heart of the meeting’s offering is the Belfast Waterfront where ICC Belfast is located; this superbly designed convention centre is perfect for events with up to 2,220 participants. During our visit, it was hosting a microbiology meeting that took up most of the centre. In addition to meetings, the acoustically superb Main Auditorium also hosts numerous concerts and other events.

*ACI Europe Airport Connectivity (higher is better) is based on the SEO NetScan connectivity model, which measures airport connectivity in a more comprehensive way. It measures the number and quality of direct/non-stop connections as well as indirect connections via other airports. The NetScan model brings the most relevant connection components of every single market (frequency, travel time, connecting time) together into a single indicator: the Airport Connectivity Index. Find out more at www.aci-europe.org.
