Background: Conferences bring scientists together and provide one of the mosttimely means for disseminating new ideas and cutting-edge works.The importanceof conferences in scientific areas is testified by quantitative indicators. InComputer Science, for instance, almost two out of three papers published onScopus are conference papers. Objective/Purpose: The main goal of this paper isto investigate a novel research question: is there any correlation between theimpact of a scientific conference and the venue where it took place? Approach:In order to measure the impact of conferences we conducted a large scaleanalysis on the bibliographic data extracted from 3,838 Computer Scienceconference series and over 2.5 million papers spanning more than 30 years ofresearch. To quantify the "touristicity" of a venue we exploited someindicators such as the size of the Wikipedia page for the city hosting thevenue and other indexes from reports of the World Economic Forum.Results/Findings: We found out that the two aspects are related, and thecorrelation with conference impact is stronger when considering country-widetouristic indicators, such as the Travel&Tourism Competitiveness Index.More-over the almost linear correlation with the Tourist Service Infrastructureindex attests the specific importance of tourist/accommodation facilities in agiven country. Conclusions: This is the first attempt to focus on therelationship of venue characteristics to conference papers. The results open upnew possibilities, such as allowing conference organizers and authors toestimate in advance the impact of conferences, thus supporting them in theirdecisions.
