1 January 2025 #molmiceonline #indiainbound #tanu_explores #MentoringMatters #collaboration #MICEEvents MICE tips from MICEOnline for new & old MICE planners and travel colleagues.. This year I am starting this small initiative to mentor and share my experiences over past 3 decades in the tourism industry- across all divisions of travel - but mainly MICE . The idea is to share knowledge and help come up with best practices in our industry- Tip 1 Collaboration ( and not Competition) is the mantra to “ sustainable growth and success . Most MICE agency and travel agents do talk about this - but don’t walk the talk . Lets face it - corporate clients are becoming more demanding- there is pressure to “ get business closures” and we feel we can do it all .. maybe some of us do manage - and in process burn out, goof up, end up giving mediocre or substandard services - instead leave it to experts in that field - let a ticketing agent manage the tickets- a production guy the production.. use the right DMC in the particular destination .. and YOU can manage your client better as one point of contact…share ur piece of pie and collaborate and create win win situations.. Not only will u manage to pull off more events but each experience will turn out better than previous one . #hospitalityindustry #TravelTrade #EventPlanningSimplified #meetinindia #MeetingsAndEvents #MeetingsMadeEasy #incredibleindia #iato #dekhoapnadesh

Why Your Standard DMC Checklist is Outdated: 2025's New MICE Priorities The travel and hospitality industry is evolving, and so are the needs of MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) clients. What worked in the past doesn’t always work in 2025. 2025’s New MICE Priorities: What You Need to Know 𝟭. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: All-in-One or Close Together. Gone are the days of scattered venues and hotels. For MICE groups, the focus is on booking the right accommodation that can house all attendees in one place or within close proximity (2-3 properties nearby). This ensures better coordination and ease of movement. 𝟮. 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. With multiple properties, managing group logistics becomes easier, and the overall guest experience improves. Choose locations that are easy to access and allow quick coordination between the venues. 𝟯. 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. Attendees have diverse dietary preferences and needs. Providing flexibility in food options at the event venues or nearby properties ensures a smoother experience for everyone. 𝟰. 𝗕𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀. A range of beverage options, from alcoholic to non-alcoholic, should be available to cater to all guests’ preferences. In the same vein, well-organized event logistics—smooth transitions between sessions, activities, and meals—can make a huge difference. 𝟱. 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Spaces should be designed to encourage interaction, networking, and collaboration. The proximity of the properties allows for easy mingling between teams, helping make the event memorable. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲? Effective MICE planning is all about location, logistics, and seamless integration. Choosing the right properties and ensuring everything is within close reach simplifies coordination and enhances the overall experience. One can get ahead of the competition by adapting to these changing priorities. #MICE2025 #EventManagement #DMCInsights #TravelTrends #CorporateEvents
