Who said corporate getaways in Southeast Asia have to be boring?
MICE, which stands for meetings, incentives, conferencing, and exhibitions, is a form of tourism designed for large groups taking part in big corporate events. The concept is a huge deal among travel industry stakeholders mainly because of the massive amount of money earned from organising such large-scale activities. Corporate tourists likewise benefit from MICE tourism for the simple reason that it allows them to work, travel and have fun mostly without spending the money they otherwise would if travelling mainly for leisure.
Home to progressive and dynamic urban sprawls, plus some of the world’s biggest corporations, countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore are outstanding hotspots for corporate getaways. With world-class amenities that scream convenience and fun all at once, the following hotels will handle anything you plan for your own little or big MICE event in Southeast Asia!
