⁉️#DidYouKnow? The #meetings and #events sector has rebounded strongly post-pandemic, with heightened demand for in-person engagements. 💰In 2023, the average daily cost per attendee fell to $155, down from $160 in 2022, representing a -3.1% decline. This decrease can be attributed to a shift in types of meetings being held. Many organizations opted for smaller, more business-focused meetings, often without costly incentive components, to manage budgets more effectively. This focus on cost control, including selecting more affordable venues and destinations, helped offset rising accommodation and food and beverage prices.
