EPCA to abandon Monaco?

The European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) June newsletter dropped into the Blog inbox today, with early news of the annual meeting in Monaco at the end of September.
 
Already the jaded old hands in the European industry are complaining that they don't want to go back to Monaco again. "It's so expensive, it's so fake, and you can never get a taxi, particularly when it rains, " one producer told the Blog at last week's EPL in Lisbon.
 
Suggestions for alternative venues have been flooding in to ICIS Chemicals Confidential. The shipping contingent is still plugging Barcelona. My fellow blogger Chloe Berman on Travel Weekly has found some perfect alternative destinations, not all of them in Europe, but all worthy of serious consideration: Santorini, Oman, Dallas, Seychelles .... and all of them with "the most luxurious swimming pools on earth".
