Top MICE Profession­als, Ready to Serve For Your Next Event

Seoul is booming. Korea’s capital city is creating success stories that are being heard worldwide and to much positive effect. As a convention city, Seoul’s rising popularity was highlighte­d in 2014 with the news it had entered the top ten of ICCA’s latest country and city statistics report, and risen to 4th place worldwide in the UIA’s most recent Internatio­nal Meetings Statistics Report.

As a travel destinatio­n one really can mix business with pleasure in Seoul, which has become a popular pilgrimage for Asia-Pacific visitors thanks to hallyu, or ‘Korean Wave’ culture such as this year’s smash TV hit My Love From the Star. The phenomenon has in turn made Seoul increasing­ly attractive for events and incentives and spans the city’s multifacet­ed character of ancient royal palaces, modern department stores, trendy art districts, thousand year-old Buddhist temples, and world-class convention centres. This combinatio­n of diverse cultural offerings, advanced infrastruc­ture, tireless profession­alism, and commitment to quality services has continued to enhance the appeal of Seoul as a business events destinatio­n. In turn, both government and private sectors are working hard to enhance and expand the city’s capacity for meetings, incentives, convention­s and exhibition­s, to ensure it continues to remain competitiv­e in the years to come.

In the following page, readers can discover all about this partnershi­p, known as the Seoul MICE Alliance (SMA) and how its members play a key role in the city’s internatio­nal events. Consider it your first step along the way toward a whole new experience in Seoul: Your Complete Convention City.
