C&IT World- How Monaco has become a key destination for events

Everyone thinks they know Monaco: top-of-the-range hotels, glamorous lifestyle, world-class gastronomy. What's less well known is that, when it comes to organising events, upmarket doesn't necessarily mean expensive - especially outside the summer months. The principality's reputation as a top MICE destination has been further enhanced recently: Monaco was voted "Best Destination in Europe 2025" by European Best Destinations, while the Visit Monaco Convention Bureau has repeatedly won the title of "Best Convention Bureau Abroad" at the M&IT Awards and, more recently, at the micebook Awards 2025.

A destination built for excellence

Monaco's appeal as a MICE destination goes far beyond its Mediterranean glamour. Event organisers benefit from a destination renowned for its reliability, professionalism and exceptional quality of service, ensuring that an event held in Monaco leaves a lasting impression. The Principality is also a pioneer in sustainable events, actively moving towards carbon neutrality with an eco-certified congress centre and hotel industry, while leading the way in soft mobility solutions.

"Monaco is a beautiful place that combines glamour and efficiency in a uniquely compact setting, where everything is at your fingertips - from prestigious venues to luxury hotels, set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean," explains Richard Kenyon, Account Director at Trinity Event Solutions. "As a destination, it offers an upmarket experience without being stuffy. Monaco's neutrality is also a major advantage, making it a popular choice for organisations with an international reach."

Whether for conferences, incentives, product launches or executive meetings, Monaco offers a tailor-made welcome in a creative environment, ideal for innovative and inspirational events. Ultra-modern facilities blend harmoniously with refined luxury, a pleasant climate and a world-renowned gastronomic scene - all the conditions for successful events.
