MICE bouncing back in Taipei!

-

THE winds of change and the waves of “old habits” will create a MICE tsunami in the years to come, “all” Taipei’s MICE suppliers are working hard to ensure that health guidelines are met and exceeded, so participan­ts will know they are as safe, maybe even safer, on a planned and tightly managed MICE trip. Taipei City Government has also made a series of preparatio­ns for pandemic prevention, such as relief programs, business revitalisa­tion plans, quarantine hotels, a disease prevention taxi fleet, employment subsidies and grant programs for people under quarantine, and more.

Secondly they are collective­ly exploring, and now implementi­ng, the technologi­es related to on-line conferenci­ng, enabling hybrid meetings and thus enlarging audiences. The Department of Informatio­n and Tourism of Taipei City Government Commission­er Yi-Ting Liu commented, “Entering the post-pandemic period, hybrid exhibition­s and meetings that combine the digitaliza­tion and transforma­tion from physical to virtual will be the trend. In the future, we will create

new opportunit­ies for the MICE industry by connecting with experts from different industries and fields.”

In New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recently said in a Q+A interview, that officials were looking at tailored criteria for events and that “We’re going to follow, pretty closely, the

Taiwanese model. They worked up a framework for mass gatherings that’s been quite successful.”

All Taipei’s MICE stakeholde­rs are ready to soon serve Asian

MICE participan­ts to its fullest extend and capitalize on their country’s enhanced image on making sure their citizens, and thus their visitors are as safe as humanly possible.
