– what goes on in your destination– see the business development– create a higher acceptance of your bureau

on the local market– awareness for the importance of the

Meeting Industry– measure the results of marketing efforts– evaluate the economic impact

Why we need statistics

International Congress and Convention Association.

Twitter: #ICCAWorld

– compare with other destinations – recommend new (infra)structures if needed– be one step ahead of competitors– compare with other tourism segments in

the destination

Why we need statistics

International Congress and Convention Association.

Twitter: #ICCAWorld

• look forward and anticipate changes.• make predictions with some degree of

confidence.• assess the health of the meetings market.• strengthen ICCA‘s culture of openness and

business exchange.

Why we need statistics

International Congress and Convention Association.

– It is a MUST for each and every Convention Bureau to collect and provide statistical information

– It is a MUST that the suppliers (hotels, congress centers, PCOs) provide the data to the Convention Bureau

What the Convention Bureau & suppliers have to do

ICCA & UIA Statistics compared(nr of meetings)

Apples & Pears

Twitter: #ICCAWorld

– Exclude national meetings (tremendous impact on overnights)

– Exclude religious, political, commercial, sporting events

– Exclude all international meetings not qualified

– Exclude the corporate market (meetings, incentives, product

launches)

ICCA & UIA statistics do not reflect the market

International Congress and Convention Association.

Twitter: #ICCAWorld

• Use them as a trendbarometer,

BUT

• establish your own statistics!

ICCA & UIA statistics do not reflect the market

International Congress and Convention Association.

Twitter: #ICCAWorld

• Put statistics in correct context; ICCA stats cover one segment of market, your success in other segments reduces the amount of space available for international association meetings.

• Low ranking year with fewer, longer lasting events with large number of delegates, may have a bigger economic impact than a high ranking year.

Right interpretation

International Congress and Convention Association.

Twitter: #ICCAWorld

• Association market has the longest lead time of any market segment. The results of 2014 reflect the bookings made in the early days of marketing.

• Never use ICCA statistics in isolation as they give only one side of the picture for a destination’s meetings business and relative level of success.

• ICCA’s stats are genuinely significant indicators. 

The right context

International Congress and Convention Association.

Twitter: #ICCAWorld

• Where do you believe you should be.• Who are your comparators. • What do your hear from the clients.• To stand still is to be overtaken.

Realism rules
