The results of Warsaw in terms of business tourism in the first half of 2023

The results of Warsaw in terms of tourism and business in the first half of 2023 are proof of the development and growing attractiveness of the city on the international arena.During this time, 11 MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, Exhibitions) events have been confirmed in our capital, attracting many delegates to the city, generating over 7,300 overnight stays. The estimated value of these overnight stays exceeded PLN 2,600,000, which indicates great interest in Warsaw as a meeting and conference venue.

We observe a systematic increase in interest in Warsaw among international meeting organizers. Among other things, thanks to our efforts, Warsaw is slowly starting to rebuild its position on the international MICE market, after the collapse caused by the pandemic and the crisis related to the war in Ukraine.

We are constantly working to speed up this process. In the first half of 2023, the Warsaw Convention Bureau took many initiatives to promote Warsaw as a place for business events and conferences.

For example, we took part in IMEX 2023, one of the world’s most important fairs for the meetings and incentive travel industry. Participation in this event enabled us to promote Warsaw on the international scene and establish contacts with key decision-makers from the MICE industry.

Additionally, during the congress of the European Society of Laryngology (ELS) in Milan, which took place from 8 to 10 May 2023, we promoted Warsaw as the venue for the future ELS congress in 2025.
