Methodology: Whether you are meeting a client, staking out a new business location, or attending a conference, business travel is essential for company executives. We surveyed 116,500 business travelers to rank their favorite cities around the world to visit in 2020.
We started our analysis with a ranking of the 190 largest cities in the world by population. Then, we evaluated each city based on the metrics listed below:
- Investment opportunities
- Business infrastructure
- Workforce availability
- Access to business hotels and resorts
- Public Transportation Access
- Convention Center Size
- Dining and Entertainment Establishments
After assigned each metric a weight proportional to its importance, we developed a ranking of the best business travel destinations for 2020. These cities have it all: investment opportunities, business infrastructure, talented workforce, great airports, public transport, fun things to do in the off-hours, and access to the very best business hotels and resorts.
