The Korea MICE Bureau has expanded its Korea Convention Support Programme to encourage more international meetings in Korea.
The range of support programmes on offer in 2017 falls into a range of categories, the eligibility for which is determined by an event’s size and duration. For events running at least three days and with either more than 100 overseas attendees, or 50 attendees in total if organised by an international body, programme items include a complimentary banquet for delegates, cultural programmes and tours, performances, and Korean souvenirs.
Digital welcome signage and a special concierge desk at Incheon International Airport, an on-site cultural booth, and pre- and post-tours organised by the Korea MICE Bureau (KMB), are also available for larger events with a minimum of 1,000 attendees. Events with 3,000 attendees are eligible for their own immigration checkpoint at the airport to speed up processing.
Complimentary KMB bidding support services are offered to those seeking to bring an event to Korea, including site inspections inclusive of airfare and accommodation, while the KMB will act as a central liaison between event organizers and local service providers. As with the above, eligibility criteria applies.
Applicants using the KMB’s online Request for Proposal system during March can enjoy additional benefits, all of which are designed to enhance the experience of event delegates during their visit to Korea.
