Sin embargo, la cosa se nos complica a la hora de calificar un destino MICE y más en los tiempos que corren, si cabe. Para tal clasificación se ha tener en cuenta multitud de factores, unos elementos que respondan fielmente a las exigencias de este segmento turístico que precisamente destaca por su gran seriedad y alto nivel a la hora de decidirse por un lugar donde llevar a cabo sus eventos.
Por lo general, un buen destino MICE debe reunir un conjunto de argumentos con los que el profesional **no se la juegue.** La actual situación económica no deja margen a las pruebas ni a las aventuras, por lo que los profesionales están obligados a buscar un valor seguro para no decepcionar a su cliente.

to make safe bets
You might want to turn things around a little and use an affirmative statement instead of a negative one.
....allow professionals to make safe bets.
Meaning "to make sound decisions", "decisions that are not made at random", etc.

"...won't leave anything to chance."
The use of "no" (in the source text) must be addressed.

arguments....which leave nothing to chance
Maybe? Sounds a bit more professional, appropriate for this type of document.
One option anyway.
Good luck.

Hmm. In that case, maybe you could try something like:
-arguments that enable elimination/reduction/minimisation of risk factors
-arguments that will enable (el profesional) to avoid risk
-arguments that allow (el profesional) to minimise risk
No time to think about how to translate "el profesional" right now. "the professional" just doesn't have the same ring to it in English, does it?
