Corner, VA – October 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / Cvent
(NYSE: CVT), a leading cloud-based enterprise event management platform,
has revealed its annual list of the 100
most popular meeting resorts in North America and the Caribbean. Cvent
operates one of the world’s largest global marketplaces for group meetings
business on the Cvent Supplier
Network (CSN). The full list of the 100 North American and Caribbean
Meeting Resorts is available
here.
Based
on meeting and event booking activity through the Cvent Supplier Network,
Cvent identified 100 resorts with attractive amenities and offerings that
foster an environment for business and pleasure, an important factor for
meeting planners and conference organizers to consider. As the demand for
corporate meetings and events continues to strengthen, resorts are home
to big business and are a common destination for all types of business
events, ranging in size from individual client meetings to incentive travel
trips, retreats or large corporate conferences.
“Resorts
remain a popular and desirable choice among meeting planners for group
business because of their all-in-one capabilities that are attractive for
planners and attendees,” said Eric Eden, vice president of marketing for
Cvent. “Providing an environment designed for conducting business with
amenities that event attendees will enjoy, ranging from golf courses to
dining, gyms and pools, resorts are designed to meet every need of the
business traveler during a group meeting. And clearly those geographies
that have warm weather all year have more volume and are better represented
on the list.”
Cvent
evaluated more than 3,500 properties in the United States, Canada, Caribbean,
Bermuda and Mexico featured on the Cvent Supplier Network to compile the
annual list. Activity was tracked from August 2013 to July 2014 and the
list was then determined by a combination of quantitative metrics and third
party review scores, some of which included:
