SURVEY GROUP Supported by Industry Associations, conducted by PwC US
website reference http://www.pcma.org/Resources/Research/Study-The-Economic-Significance-of-Meetings-to-the-US-Economy.htm
Objective - Develop common data and language that stakeholders can use when discussing meetings and events. - Provide data that can be used at the national level to articulate the economic contribution that meetings and events represent to the overall economy. - Provide a basis for ongoing benchmarking, forecasting, and trend analysis. - Collect reliable data that can be used to influence government and international agencies to alter national statistics systems to include aspects of the economic activity of meetings and extend tourism satellite accounts to include and reveal meeting activities related to tourism. - Adopt the definitions and approach developed by the UNWTO to estimate the contribution of the meetings industry comparable to measures for other countries. - Develop a replicable methodology that allows for meaningful comparative benchmarking internationally. While this study aims to achieve ambitious objectives, it is also important to acknowledge certain limitations of the study. - The definition of meetings is based on guidelines established by the UNWTO, which specifically exclude meetings of a certain type, size, length, and location. As such, the study does not capture the full potential contribution of all meeting-related activity. The economic activity associated with this segment specifically excluded from the study may be significant. - Other effects of meetings such as those on productivity, knowledge sharing/training, and social benefits were not evaluated as part of this study. - This study presents the economic significance of meetings at the national level and thus the meeting characteristics and economic activity for a particular destination will vary from these national estimates.
