Conference delegates get value for money in Atlanta

The plummeting value of the US dollar has helped Atlanta to emerge as a particularly desirable location in which to hold conferences and training sessions. The city has burst into the Economist Intelligence Unit’s list of top ten destinations for business travel, occupying 6th position. Three other US cities make the list. Here is the top ten in full (the ranking relates to December 2007 and is based on cost and environmental issues such as infrastructure and culture):

  1. Vancouver
  2. Toronto
  3. Adelaide
  4. Honolulu
  5. Perth
  6. Atlanta
  7. Auckland
  8. Helsinki
  9. Pittsburgh
  10. Detroit
