Hyderabad, India’s Convention Capital has got yet another accolade with National Geographic Traveller Magazine (the annual guide of travel industry) rating Hyderabad as the second best place in the world that one should see in 2015. Hyderabad offers an interesting combination for both MICE and leisure travellers who can enjoy the world class infrastructure and experience warm hospitality & culture. The city has a princely legacy of the Nizams heritage with a variety of tourist attractions like Charminar, Qutub Shahi Tombs, State Art Gallery, Historic Parks, India’s largest stone Buddha statue, and many more. The boom in IT and Pharmaceutical sector has changed Hyderabad into a fast developing business centre. The city offers the best international connectivity and facilities and has grown into a world class Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions destination. Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), managed by Accor (the world's leading hotel operator and market leader in Europe) is the first purpose build convention centre in India & has played an important role in developing the city’s dream by contributing to position Hyderabad as the best MICE destination in South East Asia. HICC has been host to some of the best events and international conventions, which has put Hyderabad on international map and has provided a great impetus to city’s hospitality sector. "We are pleased to announce that Hyderabad has been voted as 2nd best place in world in 2015. This proud accolade comes from the specialised & elite Travel Magazine. This recognition highlights the rich cultural heritage, state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional service and value for money which Hyderabad provides to its MICE visitors." said Neil Paterson, General Manager - Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre & HICC.
