Berlin has been a popular meeting destination for years, ranking among the top 5 meeting destinations on the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) list for the past three years. This year, it continues to run the convention industry in Germany, attracting 3.97 professionals between January and June 2009. These visitors attended 50,850 events.
According to the Berlin Convention Office and Berlin Tourismus Marketing GmbH, the proportion of national meetings and conventions rose by two percent to 81 percent this year. Additionally, guests are staying longer in Berlin. The average length of stay rose from 1.6 days to 1.7 days.
"Association congresses in Berlin attracted the most participants from around the globe in 2008," said Heike Mahmoud, director of conventions of BCO, in a statement. "Not only are more professional visitors coming to Berlin, they are also staying longer. This can be attributed more particularly to the excellent offerings of the German capital as a convention destination: six convention centers and halls, the most up-to-date hotel landscape in Europe, 1,500 cultural events every day and excellent value for money—this combination has proved to be extremely popular with both event organizers and participants."
