Systems and methods provide a meeting planner that provide information allowing a user to select a meeting location that provides the lowest travel related cost relative to the desired qualities for the meeting location. One aspect of the systems and methods is the use of multiple airfare types for determining the travel cost associated with the meeting. These multiple airfare types include historical average airfares, contract airfares, and zone airfares. A further aspect of the systems and methods is the calculation of hotel days required, and the use of multiple hotel rate types. These multiple hotel rate types include historical average hotel rates, contract rates and group rates.
