Warsaw Convention Bureau has analysed all the inquiries for big conferences and congresses that were sent to the bureau in 2011. The statistics show that 14 out of 29 inquiries and RFPs that follow them end up as meetings confirmed in Warsaw.

Participation of WCB in EIBTM fairs in Barcelona brings the first results. Despite the cold and not very favorable weather Warsaw Convention Bureau has prepared and executed two study tours for foreign representatives of the PCO’s and DMC’s, with whom contact had been established during the EIBTM.

 

In late January WCB has already initiated work on "Warsaw Meetings Industry Report". This  years edition (2012), like the previous one (2011), is going to be prepared in cooperation with Horwarth HTL, an international company involved in hotel, tourism and leaisure consultancy.
The purpose of this release is primarily a presentation by using the strengths of the substantive position of Warsaw as an attractive business tourism destination, and showing that the meetings industry is governed by the same rules of economics, as other sectors of the economy and should be analyzed in the same categories.
