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.
