A new study conducted by Rockport Analytics for the U.S. Travel Association documents not only how traveling for meetings and conferences is vital to making government more efficient and effective, but how cancelling government participation in key events carries significant costs and undermines important functions of government. 

In addition to this new study, our members should review U.S. Travel’s press release plus the economic impact fact sheet and value of meetings fact sheet. SGMP was pleased to have provided consultation during the development of this study and sincerely thanks our industry partners at U.S. Travel for making this very important project a reality.
