B. Hotel Contribution
MICE activities contribute the following to the hotel sector:
• MICE accounts for up to 65% of total sales in major hotels
• MICE attendees tend to use other hotels services, such as restaurants
• Spouses and entourages bring in additional business
• MICE events allow a hotel to forecast advance bookings and can help fill gaps during low seasons
• MICE customers have an excellent chance of becoming repeat guests
The cost of the hotel will in turn affect the attendance of a MICE event. Particularly for incentive trips,
many activities take place in a hotel or resort and the company is responsible for the cost of a few
nights’ accommodation. For international conventions and exhibitions, the cost of staying a few nights
is part of the total travel cost.
