ICCA is pleased to announce the return of our annual Country – and City – Rankings for the year 2022 after an absence of two years. The publication coincides with the World Health Organization’s recent declaration that COVID-19 no longer qualifies as a global emergency, thereby emphasising the return to normalcy for the association meetings industry.
At the end of 2022, ICCA made the proactive decision to revert to normal rankings again based on the observation that approximately 85% of all meetings were held in-person. However, with ICCA’s recognition certain countries and territories are still working within the confines of COVID-19 restrictions.
ICCA CEO, Senthil Gopinath: “The ICCA Country – and City – Rankings always generates huge industry interest. It’s heartening to see the drive towards in-person meetings is once more very strong and we predict this trend will grow throughout the coming year.”
