Monaco receives Pinnacle award for the second time running

Meeting planners and events coordinators have ranked Monaco at the top of their list of international business destinations for the second year running, championing the Principality's packages for conferences and VAT reimbursement on accommodation, food and drinks. The readers of Successful Meetings magazine selected Monaco, saying that the Principality did an "outstanding job in servicing meetings, travel programs, trade shows and conventions throughout 2011."

The collaboration between Monaco's Consulat in New York and the US based branch of Prince Albert II's Monaco Foundation for the Environment has helped promote the Principality as a business hotspot to companies and organisations around the world.

"Monaco is a symbol of credibility and prestige amongst meeting planners and hoteliers alike," said Cindy Hoddeson, the Director of Meetings and Incentive Sales.

The Principality is packed full of exclusive and luxurious conference rooms in addition to quality hotels and a booming restaurant industry.
