As 2014 draws to a close, many meetings industry suppliers have reported to us here at Greenfield that they believe it definitely will be back in a seller's market.This prognosis seems to be supported by a number of surveys and forecasts from travel companies and industry associations:
- AMEX 2015 Global Meetings & Events Forecast
- GBTA-CWT Global Travel Price Outlook
- PKF Outlook for the Canadian Lodging Sector 2014-2015
- PKF: A Tale of 13 (Canadian) Cities
- PWC US Lodging Forecast
- MPI's 2015 Meeting Outlook
So suppliers, what are you seeing in your city for 2015? Planners, what are you doing to mitigate the rising costs for your meetings and events?
