CLARK FREEPORT -- The Freeport will be the venue of the Philippine Meeting Incentive Travel, Conventions, Exhibitions/Events Philippines Incorporated (MICE) Conference or MiceCon 2014 set on June 4 to 7 June at the Fontana Convention Center here.
The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) is the lead agency spearheading MICECON in partnership with MICE Philippines and the Philippine Association of Convention and Exhibition Organizers and Suppliers (PACEOS).
Participating hotels include Fontana Hot Spring Leisure Park, Widus Resort, Holiday Inn Clark and MontevistaVillas - Mimosa Golf & Country Club.
Clark’s strategic location at the heart of growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region is a given advantage in today’s global economy, particularly for the MICE and tourism industry, the organizers stated.
The zone’s modern infrastructure facilities, generous fiscal and non-fiscal incentives, professional support services, amenities, pool of highly trainable and English-proficient skilled labor and other advantages make it an ideal place for investment, business and leisure, they added.
The conference is the biggest gathering of MICE professionals in the Philippines.
It is a highly anticipated annual educational event for travel, tourism and MICE practitioners because of its range of topics, quality speakers and themed events.
With the theme MICE in 4D (defining passions, developing minds, defying limits, designing the future), MICECON serves as a platform in which stakeholders learn from experts new trends and methods, the Department of Tourism (DOT) stated.
Some 600 participants representing airlines, hotels, resorts, convention centers, destination management companies, incentive planners, event organizers and others are expected to attend the conference.
MICECON 2014 will bring approximately 40 select international MICE buyers from Australia, China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, United Kingdom, Germany, Poland and Russia and another 10 local corporate buyers primarily for a one-day Buyer / Seller Business Exchange (MICE Mart).
