The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority is expecting to break two major records in 2014: MCCA Executive Director James E. Rooney said that the venue is poised to host events generating more hotel room nights than ever before and also to have a greater economic impact.
2014’s meetings and conventions are projected to generate a total of 629,000 hotel room nights throughout Boston and the region, and $680 million in economic activity, the most since the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC) opened in 2004. The New Year is expected to break 2006’s record of 616,000 hotel room nights and 2012’s economic impact record of $656 million.
