The EIBTM Trends Watch Report 2016 is more favorable than it has been for several years. Data from the recently released study on the Economic Significance of Meetings to the US Economy by the Convention Industry Council show significant increases in meeting participants, direct spending, tax contribution and job growth from 2009 to 2012, and according to the updated Site Index: Annual Survey, incentive travel is expected to continue to grow at a significant pace through 2016. Site International Foundation.
