Member cities of BestCities Global Alliance are some of the most popular cities for international association meetings and conventions. The findings come from a statistic report *The International Meeting Market 2004,* by the International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA) based in Amsterdam. Two BestCities.net members – Singapore and Copenhagen – finished in the top 10 cities in the world for the number of international association meeting held. Singapore was 3rd, with 99 meetings and Copenhagen 6th, with 76 meetings. Singapore also finished in 3rd place in 2003. Copenhagen advanced two places from 8^th in 2003 to 6^th in 2004. Edinburgh and Melbourne finished in 24^th and 29^th places respectively. Edinburgh held 27 international association meetings and Melbourne 33. It was the first time that Melbourne had beaten its Australian rival Sydney in more than 10 years. Cape Town and Vancouver finished equal 30^th with 31 events, both moving up the ladder from their positions in 2003. In total, six of BestCities.net’s eight members were responsible for attracting a total of 307 international association meetings in 2004. “We are delighted to see that the global alliance of convention bureaux that makes up BestCities is helping each of our members to attract more meetings to their cities,” said Lisa Klint, General Manager, BestCities Global Alliance.
