Meeting Planners! What qualities do you look for when considering an oversea's conference venue?

I'm in the process on compiling a paper on conferencing abroad and I would really appreciate some feed back on the following questions.

Which of the following would you rank in order of importance, when considering an over sea's meeting venue?

1/ Low 24hr delegate rate.
2/ Unique & original location/venue.
6/ Packaged price including accommodation, food, wine conference rooms, airport transfers, activities.
7/ Competence in communicating in English.
8/ Quality outdoor activities/team building facilities.
9/ Short travelling distance from airport.
10/ A good selection of conference room sizes.
11/ A FAM visit before committing.

Finally, would you source the venues yourself via the internet or would you prefer to use the services of a local venue finding agency?

Please also include any suggestions of your own not present above!

I thank you in advance for your help.
