San Diego earns Top 5 spot on Cvent’s annual Meeting Destinations List

August 21, 2014 By Joe Terzi Leave a Comment

We excited to share some great news with you. San Diego earned a Top 5 spot on Cvent’s Top 50 Meeting Destinations list! This industry-specific ranking is based off of many factors including meeting and event booking activity as well as the number of unique venues in the destination. In it’s third year, the list has become even more accurate in its reflection of the most popular
meeting destinations in the US by adding the number of unique visits to the city’s Cvent-specific page.

San Diego continued to hold its place in the Top 5 from previous years, even during a year of uncertainty due to funding issues from the Tourism Marketing District and political obstacles from the previous mayoral administration. Considering San Diego has significantly less meeting space at its primary convention center compared to other top destinations, it’s rewarding to see our city rank so highly–in part, due to our diverse offerings of meeting and conference hotels, award-winning convention center, unique regions, and exceptional attractions and third party venues.

With an expanded group and citywide sales team, the SDTA is eager to build on its reputation as a leading destination for meetings of all sizes and budgets. Our new group sales marketing campaign “Forecast: Success” and sub-region targeted campaigns launch in early fall and will build on our efforts to increase visitation by booking new groups in the destination.
