One- stop MICE destination
Guy Charles Owen, General Manager, Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort, speaks about why his resort is a great choice for corporate events, specially from India
What kind of numbers do you do from India for business travel/ MICE?
We have handled a couple of Indian groups in the last two years after we actively tapped this market. Apart from MICE, Indian weddings are also very popular in Bali. We have promoted our ‘ Exceptional Meeting' offers through our key partners in India by EDM and we hosted the Outbound Tour Operators Association of India ( OTOAI) convention that helped showcase the resort to a lot of outbound agents from India. We also arrange for special needs like Indian food, vegetarian and even Jain food on request.
What makes your hotel a great option for MICE travellers?
Our resort has become a one stop MICE destination due to a fully integrated eco- friendly resort. We have a spacious function hall with six breakout rooms and adequate MICE facilities including an experienced MICE team to cater to every event at the resort. Secluded and spacious, it is a favoured destination for relaxing getaways, lifestyle rejuvenation, corporate retreats.
Do you encourage green meetings/ events? Yes, most of our function rooms get natural light with an outdoor lunch/ coffee break venue and amphitheater for afternoon/ evening presentations.
Do you offer any offers/ incentives for big corporate groups?
Yes, we offer incentives depending on the group size. Normally, we offer between two to five per cent for group meetings for rooms only.
