Taking into account the events since September, this is an excellent result, reflecting the supreme calibre of those attending and the international experience of the MICE industry sales team, said Jackson.
ICCA is a perfect niche marketing opportunity for ICCA members and non
members to showcase their facilities, products and services.
A total of 43 exhibitors are participating and there is a record of 21 new
exhibitors.
New exhibitors are: Catalonia Palace of Congresses, Hilton Cancun Beach & Golf Resort, Cuba Convention Bureau, Busan Exhibition & Convention Center, Polish Tourist Co-operative, The Meetings Group Primedia Business, ICCA Latin America Chapter, Global Incentive Management, Puerto Rico CVB, Wonderful Copenhagen, Olympus Tours / Olympus Incentives, Las Americas Exhibition Center, Best Day Tour & DMC, Xcaret, Tropical Incentives – EPIC/DMC Worldwide, Mexico City CVB, Consejo De Promocion Turistica, DOME, Beijing Chamber of International Commerce, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts Mexico and Marathon International, sponsors of the Internet Cafe.
Jackson said that the variety of exhibitors was particularly encouraging, ranging from technology companies, conference suppliers and security to destinations, incentive companies, hotels and publishers.
The exhibition runs throughout the three days of the General Assembly and
Congress.
This is a very important forum for the meetings industry, said Jackson, and will give everyone time to discuss and address the challenges and
opportunities that lie ahead for the industry.
It will also be a preparation and first vital step before an unprecedented
united meeting of industry association leaders which Reed Travel Exhibitions
has been asked to organise by the industry immediately following the
Congress here.
The meeting will collect and share market information on how the industry
is responding to the crisis as well as review global strategies for
improved, co-ordinated and consistent messages.
The meeting, chaired by Tom Nutley, Managing Director of Reed Travel
Exhibitions, is to be held on Tuesday 13 November during the Incentive,
Conference and Business Travel Day at World Travel Market, London.
