The history of conference tourism

International conference tourism has a history of several decades and has now become an important tourism product in the world.

According to the statistics of the International Congress and Conference Association (ICCA), the world's authoritative international conference organization, there are more than 400,000 conferences every year, with more than 4 countries and more than 50 participants, and the total conference expenses exceed 280 billion US dollars. The huge potential of the international conference market and the high return of the conference industry have attracted more and more countries and regions to focus on this cash cow.
