The first ICCA report, to appear after the start of the pandemic, and the only one (for now) to feature theDestination Performance Index (DPI)— an indicator that measures the originality and resilience of countries and cities in adapting from face-to-face to virtual and/or hybrid formats — placed The United States and Spain at the top (worldwide and European level, respectively). It also consolidated Portugal's prominence on the list.

Currently, the designation”made in Portugal” in the world of events, ranks 7th worldwide and 6th among European cities; Lisbon maintains 2nd position in both rankings (both led by Vienna); and Porto rose 23 positions worldwide (from 39th to 16th) and 8 places, in European terms (from 22nd to 14th). However, other national cities are present in the index, these being:

‍
