“Hotels have become increasingly focused on developing more meeting and event business, and as such, have become more sophisticated in competing for the most lucrative opportunities for their respective venues,” said Kevin Fliess (left), vice president of marketing for Cvent’s Hospitality Cloud, which covers hotels, convention bureaus and other event venue owners.
“Hotels continue to advance and expand their group marketing efforts and are increasingly embracing a data-driven approach to more effectively pursue the optimal meetings and events for their venue. This coupled with another year of notable investment in renovation and other upgrades have led to shifts in the rankings as competition remains fierce even in a robust market.”
Cvent, a leading meeting technology provider, compiled the list based on meeting and event booking activity through its supplier network, which features more than 245,000 hotels, resorts and special event venues.
