OUTBOUND MICE 2017

We specialise in Europe and the UK. For Europe being the largest source market for MICE, this year has been good. We had all kinds of group sizes ranging from 20 onwards to 1500 guests. Even in the months of December, groups are lined up, which is a good sign for MICE. Its been almost double the growth for us compared to last year.

TOP UPCOMING OUTBOUND MARKETS

New and upcoming markets for MICE include Scandinavia (Norway/ Finland/ Sweden), Croatia, Slovenia, Ireland and Iceland.

MICE EXPECTATIONS 2018

The queries for 2018 have already started. We expect it to be a good year for MICE. We feel that corporates have on numerous occasions discovered the destinations of South East Asia and GCC. They want to explore Europe and UK more.

We are ready to suggest to our B2B trade colleagues the best of destinations with innovative itineraries and activities. We expect a good support from all hotel chains like Marriott/Accor, etc. As they are more willing to understand the requirement of an Indian group in terms of food habits, etc.

Even in the months of December, groups are lined up, which is a good sign for MICE
