Cvent recently released its list of Top Meeting Hotels, issued regionally for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and for the first time this year, Latin America & Caribbean.
Destination and hotel rankings are determined based on insights gleaned from the more than $18B of global sourcing and RFP activity through Cvent’s sourcing platforms in 2024, including a record-breaking $16.5B through the Cvent Supplier Network, one of the world’s largest group hotel and venue sourcing marketplaces.
Despite a dip in planner optimism due to macroeconomic uncertainty and rising costs, Cvent’s research found that nearly 70 percent of planners are actively booking or sourcing new events and 63 percent see events as more valuable than they were pre-pandemic. This trend is further supported by Cvent’s 2025 Planner Sourcing Report, which found that nearly 90 percent of planners expect the number of in-person meetings to increase in 2025.
