According to the survey, 59% reported providing quality meetings on a limited budget, 55% reported that managing safety and security risks for their meetings will be key in 2018 among other items listed. The most common areas for cost-cutting were: 55% - Reducing the Food and Beverage budget, 30% - Offering fewer optional activities and 27% - Avoiding beach/resort destinations were in the top on the planners lists.
