Overland Park is home to 35 hotels and over 4,700 hotel rooms and one of the best small convention centers in the United States. A recent report published by Oxford Economics indicates that global business events are bouncing back to pre-Covid levels of 2019. There is progress in several key areas for global events, including an uptick in request for proposal (RFP) activity to 91% of 2019 levels of RFPs, and hotel group rooms rising to 98% of the equivalent quarter in 2019. Additionally, RFPs submitted for large and medium-size events during the second quarter surpassed levels seen in 2019 at 103%. However, RFP activity for small events only hit 88% of 2019 levels. RFPs for events more than 12 months away are up to 98%, while those that are less than 12 months away are only up to 91% of 2019 levels. This suggests that the shorter lead times may be easing. While the report showed RFP activity increasing in all regions, North America had the second highest rate of RFP activity at 116% of 2019 levels. #destinations #destination marketing #meetings #meetingsmean business #tourism #hotels #conventions
