Thank you to the events professionals both agency and corporate that completed the international event travel survey. We value the input and have compiled the disclosure of results as follows:
| Findings conclude that clients advise they expect that virtual technology will remain a common feature in events with hybrid options being included with large global events to minimise excessive travel, increase accessibility and reduce costs. |
| Increased personalisation, less structured programmes, shorter durations, increased focus on sustainability, conservation and identity issues. Focus on authentic experiences. Massive focus on contractual terms early in the decision making process |
| Social distancing measures in programmes. More private hires, exclusive use etc.. |
| Yes Countries that do not have have a convincing Vaccination record will not be considered for large events !! |
| Less developed countries where sanitation might not be so stringent. |
| The vaccine and entry requirements will have an impact. |
| Will be determined by the numbers of COVID and how well the destinations recovers and how they control the virus |
| The Countries that have not managed it well |
| Possibly, and this will relate to how these countries have managed the spread of the virus and vaccine roll out |
| Not once vaccines has been distributed |
| Really hard to tell at the moment but I do believe that only countries with high vaccination levels will be favoured. |
| The Middle East will be popular due to its good record in dealing with the pandemic, and travel restrictions being eased already. I think the US will be out for a while to come yet until they get control of their numbers. |
| Possibly the USA due to being the most effected and still not under control with Covid |
