The Globe and Mail, Canada’s fourth largest newspaper, has selected
Denver, Colorado as the best city in the world for holding a business
convention.
The selection panel consisted of airline chiefs, frequent fliers, meeting
experts and business travel pros.
According to Zane Kerby, senior VP of the National Business Travel Association,
Denver’s central U.S. location, cheap flights into DIA, and the
proximity of most hotels to the Colorado Convention Center all were factors
in choosing Denver. In addition, Denver’s travel taxes – a
measure of accommodation, rental car and airport taxes – are among
the lowest in the U.S
New York City was picked as Best for Business over all. Other categories
and selections were: Pro-business (Sao Paolo, Brazil), Best Sightseeing
(Istanbul), Most Exotic (Mumbai, India), Best Buzz (London), Freshest
Downtown (Los Angeles), Best Comeback (New Orleans), City to Watch (Shenzhen,
China) and Best Music Scene (Nashville).
Bottom line: Denver is among some pretty good company.
