The ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) has released its 2023 Country and City Rankings for hosting international events. 💡 We took a closer look at the Top 40 Ranking of the #2023GDSIndex alongside the #ICCA Top 40 City Rankings, and we noticed a pattern. Ten cities (in no particular order) appear in both lists: #Gothenburg, Sweden #Oslo, Norway #Copenhagen, Denmark #Helsinki, Finland #Stockholm, Sweden #Barcelona, Spain #Brussels, Belgium #Montreal, Canada #Sydney, Australia #Bangkok, Thailand  💪 It is encouraging to see cities leading in both hosting #InternationalMeetings and advancing sustainability efforts. This alignment emphasises the consistency of these cities in hosting events and underscores their significance in the #globalevents landscape. By consciously selecting destinations that align with progressive values and sustainability objectives, we can drive #positivechange and create lasting impacts for generations to come. Each decision to prioritise sustainability in our event planning contributes to a more #regenerativebusiness ecosystem, leaving a positive legacy for the places and the people those events affect. 👉 Read more about the #GDS_index Top 40 here: https://lnkd.in/dQYdpyhM 👉 Read more about the 2023 ICCA Rankings here: https://lnkd.in/ebye8uZy #Meetings #Sustainability #ICCA #GDSMovement #DestinationMarketing #EventProfessionals #FlourishingCities #Regeneration #EventProfs #MICEsustainability #EventsSustainability

Nice news for Choose Paris Region and all our partners! It's about the latest ranking 'Europe’s Most Talked About Cities' by the PR and digital communication agency ING Media.   This ranking measures the digital visibility of major European metropolises in the media.   Paris makes a spectacular leap of +21% (+4% for London) and takes first place in this ranking for the first time since its inception. Paris is notably first in the 'foreign investments' category with 19% of 'conversations' about foreign direct investments concerning Paris, compared to 16% for London and 10% for Barcelona that follows on the podium.   According to ING, it's not even the Olympics that explain this dynamic, which leads them to believe that the notoriety of the Ile-de-France could still positively evolve in 2024.   Région Île-de-France Alexandra Dublanche Valérie Pécresse Dominic Morgan Jiyoung Jo Arnaud Melilli Link to the full version of the report: https://lnkd.in/e5w-QHYw"

Embracing Innovation in the Tourism Industry 🌟 The landscape of travel is evolving rapidly, and it's time for the tourism industry to adapt. As travelers, we've all experienced the frustration of flight delays, cancellations, or other unforeseen disruptions that can mar our journeys. It's high time for a change, and that's where innovation steps in. Agencies, tour operators, and other stakeholders in the travel sector need to start thinking outside the box. We need to prioritize customer satisfaction and offer solutions that alleviate the hassles of travel disruptions. That's why I believe it's crucial for businesses to explore services like Pagosubito. Pagosubito offers a unique solution that resonates with modern travelers. By providing compensation to customers who have experienced inconveniences caused by airlines during their trips, they're setting a new standard for customer care and reliability in the travel industry. In an era where seamless travel experiences are paramount, embracing services like Pagosubito not only ensures customer loyalty but also sets businesses apart in a competitive market. It's time to prioritize the needs of travelers and redefine what exceptional service means in the world of tourism. Let's usher in a new era of travel where customer satisfaction reigns supreme. Are you ready to embrace the change? #TravelIndustry #Innovation #CustomerSatisfaction #Pagosubito #TravelDisruptions #CustomerCare #Tourism #Adaptation #FutureofTravel 🛫🌍✨

I want to celebrate this International #Women's Day by sharing a picture of my extraordinary colleagues. They are strong, beautiful, courageous, and above all, they fight everyday to make a difference. In today's world, far too many women are underestimated. Often, they are deprived of rights and access to education. 📌 Data from 68 countries indicates that a woman's #education is a critical determinant of a child's survival. 📌 Children of mothers with no education in the Latin American and Caribbean region are 3.1 times more likely to die than those with mothers who have secondary or tertiary education, and 1.6 times more likely to die than those whose mothers have primary-level education. (source: UN WOMEN - https://lnkd.in/dMK8ry4U) I hope that there will be more women like my colleagues in the world.  And more people and companies supporting their growth. Because a world where women cannot thrive is a poor world - in every sense.

The 60 major international events in the pipeline are expected to attract more than 180,000 Mainland and international visitors. The events span a wide range of themes and industries. On top of sectors where Hong Kong boasts unique strengths, such as innovation and technology (I&T), medical sciences, and financial services, new themes of other sectors such as aviation, architecture, and education are also trending among the latest event wins.

Au revoir pour l’instant France. Reflecting on a wonderful 11 days on the Cote D’azur, I find myself heading back to Singapore with a quick stopover in Qatar. It started with my first trip to MIPIM and it proved to be exactly what ever had told me it would be and then some. Vast, busy and full of action, the event was both energising and enjoyable. This annual property jamboree in Cannes is a place where blue gilets are almost ‘obligatoire’, potential deals get finalised over a glass of rose or two, and firms and clients strive to keep each other happy. Despite its reputation for ‘fun in the sun’, the exhibition offered some serious undertones with a big emphasis on the “race to net zero”. I still come away though with the sentiment that ‘actions speak louder than words’. Will be interesting to see how things progress. Throughout our various conversations I picked up on a consistent sentiment of 'cautious optimism' about the current plight of the market but with a consensus things are moving in the right direction. An attendance of 21,000 people (over 6000 from the UK alone) suggest sunnier times lie ahead! It was great to see so much Middle Eastern representation at MIPIM, with a large presence from Saudi Arabia, but also participation from Oman and Qatar. The Middle Eastern market remains arguably the most exciting global real estate market today from both a project and talent perspective. After the conclusion of MIPIM, I then managed to stay on for a few days to catch up with my parents and enjoy some of the sights and tastes of the region. It really is a wonderful part of the world. Despite taking a few days off, we continue to get busier with new mandates coming in and the successful closing of four assignments in the last 2 weeks alone. I now look forward to getting back to Singapore and following up on some of the very interesting conversations we’ve had over the last few weeks, firstly at CoreNet Global and then at MIPIM.
