Seoul Selected as 'World's Best International Conference City' by Business Traveler

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 2nd that it was selected as the "Best International Meeting Destination" at the 2020 Business Traveler Awards.

The Business Traveler Awards, presented by Business Traveler, a leading business travel magazine in the Americas and Europe, has been selecting and announcing the number one winners in 53 categories including airlines, airports, and hotels since 1988. It is a representative award in the MICE and business tourism sectors.

This award was selected through an online vote conducted from July to August among 200,000 Business Traveler subscribers.

Seoul was also selected as the "Best International Meeting Destination" for six consecutive years from 2012 to 2017. Since there were no selections in this category in 2018 and 2019, Seoul explained that this award not only solidifies its position as a leading MICE city but also draws global attention.

Earlier, in July, Seoul was ranked the world's third-best international meeting city for five consecutive years in the International Meetings Statistics Report published annually by the Union of International Associations (UIA). Last month, Seoul also received the ICCA BEST Marketing Award, known as the Oscar of the international meetings field.
