Singapore Tops Meeting Destinations, Hotels In Asia Pacific - Cvent

KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 (Bernama) -- Cvent, an industry-leading meetings, events and hospitality technology provider, released its lists of the Top Meeting Destinations and Top Meeting Hotels for Asia Pacific (APAC).

Singapore ranked first in the Top 10 Meeting Destinations in APAC followed by Sydney, Australia (2); Bangkok, Thailand (3); Seoul, South Korea (4); Melbourne, Australia (5); Tokyo, Japan (6); Bali, Indonesia (7); Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (8); Gold Coast, Australia (9) and Phuket, Thailand (10).

Meanwhile, the Top 10 Meeting Hotels in APAC include Fairmont Singapore (1); Hyatt Regency Sydney (2); Shangri-La Singapore (3); Conrad Centennial Singapore (4); Swissôtel The Stamford Singapore (5); InterContinental Singapore (6); and Pan Pacific Singapore (7).

These lists, which also include regional rankings for North America, Europe and the Middle East & Africa, were compiled based on sourcing activity through the Cvent Supplier Network, one of the world’s largest venue-sourcing platforms.

According to a statement, this is the first time Cvent has published the annual lists since the COVID-19 pandemic upended the meetings and events industry in early 2020.

“Digital transformation has revolutionised the way hospitality professionals embrace technology to engage planners and enhance their sales and marketing efforts to attract meetings and events to their properties or locales.

“The pandemic proved how critically important meetings and events are for bolstering local economies and our Cvent Top Lists highlight the hotels, venues and destinations that are enabling a dramatic comeback by capitalising on the swift return to in-person events,” said Cvent Vice President of International Sales, Graham Pope.

As pandemic restrictions eased and travel resumed, many destinations across APAC witnessed an influx of international visitors and regional tourism boards worked diligently to promote their cities and attract these travellers to their locales.

For Cvent Top Meeting Hotels, Cvent evaluated hotel properties that generated business through the Cvent Supplier Network between January and December 2022.

Meanwhile, for Cvent Top Meeting Destinations, Cvent evaluated more than 12,500 cities worldwide listed on the Cvent Supplier Network. Activity was also tracked between January and December 2022.
