“…In addition, the findings showed that consumer inertia-namely the persistence of business tourist consumption habits and references given by tourists-can have a significant effect on business tourist spending. In turn, these authors highlighted, in another study, the significance of economic activity as well as political stability for increasing the number of international meetings (Carvalho et al 2019). More recently, Zhylenko et al (2022), executing a correlation-regression analysis and dispersion analysis, demonstrated that the number of MICE events and the economic effect of their holding has a positive influence on the expansion of GDP and FDI.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic had a disastrous effect on the growth in business tourism, emphasizing the role of information and communication technologies in the implementation of new meeting models. Consequently, new needs and concerns of the business tourist may have arisen, which should lead business tourism organizations to consider new attributes in their value proposition. Thus, this study aims to understand the determinants of business tourism spending and the number of business meetings, in the European Union, to aid the formulation of economic and marketing policies, in the post-pandemic period. For this purpose, a literature review is carried out for the periods before, during, and after the pandemic phase; additionally, a panel data analysis is performed using data from the 28 countries in the European Union. The results identify new typologies of determinants, describing first-order (global-scale) and second-order (European-scale) determinants and identifying important practical implications.

“…The study revealed that all sustainable policy factors scored above average, indicating their crucial position in destination selection decisions [2]. Furthermore, Park et al ( 2014) and Carvalho et al (2019) analyzed the importance of governments and policies when selecting event destinations, considering a range of different perspectives. They examined sustainability aspects such as the suitability of the application process, government support, social and political stability, regulatory requirements, government efficiency, and entry procedures [51,52].…”

They examined sustainability aspects such as the suitability of the application process, government support, social and political stability, regulatory requirements, government efficiency, and entry procedures [51,52]. However, these studies merely analyzed event participants' attitudes towards sustainability using ANOVA or IPA methods and did not examine the specific effects of policy sustainability.…”

This study investigates sustainability practices from the event participants’ perspective. Taking the China International Consumer Products Expo as a case study, this study adopts a quantitative research method to examine the effects of the sustainability practices of events on brand equity via structural equation modeling. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows: (1) the sustainability practices of events is a multi-dimensional concept, and the four determinants of sustainability practices of events examined in this study are environmental sustainability practices, economic sustainability practices, social sustainability practices, and policy sustainability practices; (2) the four dimensions of sustainability practices have positive effects on brand image; (3) social sustainability, environmental sustainability, and policy sustainability practices have a positive impact on willingness to pay a price premium; (4) brand image and attendees’ willingness to pay a price premium are significantly related to brand loyalty. The findings will be useful not only in improving the new structure of sustainability in the event field but also in providing new ideas and new ways for event organizers to improve event brand equity.

“…Owing to its significant economic relevance, MICE has been intensively investigated in the literature (Getz & Page, 2016). The main topics include: (i) MICE sector as one of the components of a multidimensional tourism system (Bramwell & Lane, 2014; Chon & Weber, 2014); (ii) MICE's impact in promoting national economy balances (Dwyer & Forsyth, 1998); (iii) the analysis of decision processes of convention's attendees (Kim & Chon, 2009; Zhang et al, 2007); (iv) the convention planners' selection processes (McCabe, 2009); (v) the investigation of the main determinants of the MICE demand (Carvalho et al, 2016, 2019); (vi) the geographical distribution analysis of facilities on the territory (Alananzeh et al, 2018; Bernini, 2009). In particular, this last field is the most recent topic explored, owing to the growing availability of spatial and georeferenced data (Cong et al, 2014).…”

MICE is one of the most profitable sectors of the tourism industry, with an effective impact on local economies. However, the investigation of its spatial agglomeration has not been fully explored. In this study, we use information on the venues' characteristics and territorial distribution to identify convention firms' agglomeration in Emilia‐Romagna (Italy), through a constrained clustering algorithm. This approach enables the inclusion of both non‐geographical aspects, measured by the Krugman sectoral index, and geographical information. Findings show the existence of developed and developing convention agglomerations, with different MICE offers. Using convention demand data, we improve the cluster's profiles and propose some managerial strategies.
