DAVAO’s MICE programme will have more perks than ever starting next year. Titled Let’s Meet in Davao 2017-2018, MICE Davao chair Kennedy Kapulong said that the programme is designed to give delegates a better experience, along with discounts and incentives.

Depending on the size of the MICE group, perks include experiential travel packages from tours consortium partners; complimentary massages from the Davao Wellness Association; and complimentary or discounted meeting rooms at SMX Convention Center Davao. Moreover, for the first time, Cebu Pacific and AirAsia will be participating in the programme to offer a special MICE group rate.

Other sweeteners include hosted fam tours for inspection teams; special rates from hotels, shopping centres, restaurants and car rental agencies; in addition to the usual airport reception and welcome kits.

Kapulong said Davao is MICE-ready with over 8,000 licensed rooms, increased air links, and a convention centre that can host large events with up to 5,000 pax, among other things. He added that there are more active partners in the year 2017/2018 due to the commitment and support from both the private and public sector.

He told TTGmice e-Weekly that “the overall experience from pre-convention up to the convention dates have been tailored to provide guests and visitors a seamless and holistic experience” and that they wanted to “double the results from 2016”.
