The Union of International Association has released the 63rd International meetings Statistics Report. The Report provides two views of a sector continuing to face multiple challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic. The report contains data for 2019 in full, which was the last functional and successful tourism year. In addition to this, the analysis of 2021 data is also present.

The data has been collected from the UIA database. UIA is also a source for the International Congress Calendar and Yearbook of International Organizations.

The database released covers the international association meetings which were held around the world in 2019 and in 2021. The report provides comprehensive data for the the-year-that-was and also a twenty-year perspective on trends from 2001 through 2021.

Hundreds more meetings have been added to the data for 2019 since the last report was published. while the number of meetings currently profiled for 2021 is drastically reduced from the trend of 12,000 and higher per year due to the impact of the pandemic on association life, travel, and public gatherings. The report is currently available exclusively to the usage of UIA members only. It becomes available to the public in September 2022.
