A massive convention, to be participated in by about 800 international MICE specialists, will be hosted on Jeju Island in the second half of 2011.
Jeju Tourism Organization (JTO) and the Jeju Wider-area Economic Bloc (WEB) Leading Project Support Team, announced that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed with the MCI Asia Pacific to help development of the MICE industry in Jeju.
At the time of signing the MOU, both parties also agreed to hold MCI’s International Business Meeting on Jeju Island. Over 800 participants of the staff and employees of the MCI group and MICE specialists will attend.
JTO aims to establish a more practical and concrete international MICE network and support system for MICE education through the MOU.
