Coronado was named as one of the top 50 meeting destinations in 2024 by Cvent, a software company used by meeting planners to plan conventions, group events and conferences.

The island earned the rank of 39th best among over 12,000 destinations graded by Cvent. Rankings were determined by the number of request-for-proposals (RFPs) sent by meeting planners; revenue totals from confirmed meetings and the number of group room nights booked in the destination. 

During 2023, hotel room nights for groups on Coronado Island grew 3.8%, totaling 171,000 for the year, according to Coronado’s 2023 economic impact report released by Discover Coronado. 

The same report stated that every day, nearly $322,000 was spent across the city by group visitors and over 985 jobs are directly supported by groups meeting on the island.
