The savings really depends upon the city. After Maastricht, I went to Paris and the hotel for me there was 25 Euros a nite less than in Maastricht and I would have also saved several hundred dollars in airfare as well as alot of time in transit. So, while it is possible that IETF may have to pay more for meeting facilities, I contend that the net expenses for the average participant would be fairly close, even if the meeting fee were higher. Certainly, my meal expenses overall would be higher in larger and easier to reach cities, but that's more because I could actually find more to eat than that the overall costs are significantly higher.
