MEETINGS INDUSTRY FORECAST
SHOULD BE A LITTLE BRIGHTER Our expectation is that after growing close to 8 percent this year, travel
expenditures are likely to decelerate, and grow by about 4.2 percent next year. Some of the increase this year was due to the fact that prices rose significantly in the travel sector, mainly due to the increase in gas prices.
