MCI Special Report on Group Bookings | MCI United States | EN

If it seems that everything about group bookings is up in the air — it is. Now MCI Group is pleased to present a new resource that can help: All Around the Block, a special report that includes original research into global MICE hotel rates, shop times, and booking behavior conducted by our Business Intelligence Unit.

In All Around the Block, MCI introduces a new metric — the Hotel Rate Index — that for the first time offers a comparative analysis of rates and shop times specifically for MICE hotels in 20 premier destinations in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific/Middle East. The report breaks this information down not just into an overall average rate for each city but into rates for two distinct MICE categories, luxury and healthcare, as well as the optimal time to book. And the research is paired with insights from MCI experts in each region.

All Around the Block is a companion piece to Is 7 the New 10?, an MCI special report that features interviews with four of our global talents about the evolution — and possible disintegration — of the group commission model. Select excerpts from Is 7 the New 10? are incorporated throughout All Around the Block, linking the ongoing conversation around group commissions to a need for new tools in managing group bookings. Both reports are available free from MCI.
