Held annually in Hong Kong, ITE & MICE covers also mainland China geographically. By having separate promotions and days for trade and public visitors, ITE & MICE is well attended by the regional travel trade, MICE and corporations and Hong Kong’s affluent FIT.
There are over 12,000 visitors in the two trade days, with 20% from China particularly from Guangdong, and some 70% from Hong Kong. Among them 5700 are from travel agents, 3200 from MICE and corporations and around 200 hosted and registered buyers.
Exhibitors can meet the buyers and visitors in their stands, but to better ensure results, we have launched some services to facilitate exhibitors making B2B contacts.
Exhibitors can also use password-enabled online system to make directly PRE-APPOINTMENTS with buyers weeks before the Expo opens. In fact, this system is also available to our buyers who are required to fulfill certain quotas.
For the first time in 2012, we launched successfully a new service of BUSINESS MATCHING, each session of which lasted for about 45 to 60 minutes, and present were around 30 buyers and a similar number of sellers. While buyers remained in the same seats, the sellers moved from table to table to talk to different buyers.
Also, exhibitors can rent rooms located inside the exhibition halls, to hold their own trade SEMINAR, for audiences’ convenience and higher visibility. We help promoting them, free of charge, through different means including publishing on the trade website which accepts online pre-registrations.
From time to time, the organizer also holds trade SEMINARS on Specific Themes / Topics which for examples included those on Cruise, Wellness, Honeymooning & Overseas Wedding, and Incentive Schemes to Outbound MICE etc. Speakers of these THEME SEMINARS are often by invitation only and interested party can contact us.
ITE & MICE 2013, which will be held from June 13 to 16 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center, co-locates Asia’s well established ITE, the 27th International Travel Expo Hong Kong and the 8th MICE Travel Expo.
