FAQ

What does MICE stand for?
MICE stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions. It refers to high-value business tourism that fills hotels midweek and during off-peak seasons.
How do MICE bookings work?
MICE bookings are made far in advance, usually 6 to 18 months ahead, and negotiate group rates for rooms plus meeting spaces. For instance, a corporate incentive trip might reserve 100 rooms for 4 nights and include a gala dinner for 300 attendees.
How is MICE different from leisure travel?
MICE is business-driven with scheduled agendas and higher spending per person, often three times more than leisure travelers. Leisure travel is personal and flexible, while MICE stabilizes hotel occupancy on weekdays and during slow months.
