The Committee for the Development of Conventions and Exhibitions (CDCE) held the “1st Plenary Ordinary Meeting 2021” on 15 June. During the meeting, in addition to introducing the preparation for and follow-up of large MICE events to be organised or co-organised by IPIM this year, IPIM also discussed with the committee members the co-operation between MICE and other industries, as well as MICE-related training programmes. IPIM also listened to opinions from the members regarding the development of the local MICE industry, hoping to promote economic recovery with the industry together.
The meeting was presided over by Chairman of the Committee and Secretary for Economy and Finance Lei Wai Nong. He said that despite the pandemic outbreak, from the second half of 2020, the industry has gradually recovered and started holding various exhibitions with a new approach that integrates online and offline services as encouraged and promoted by the government. MICE practitioners were also able to strengthen their competitiveness through training programmes. It is believed that through the concerted efforts of the government and different sectors of society, as well as the synergistic effects of the integrated development of “tourism + MICE”, the industry’s recovery will be accelerated and the local consumption chain consisting of food, accommodation, transport, travel, shopping and entertainment will also be boosted, thereby facilitating Macao’s moderate economic diversification.
Secretary General of the Committee and President of IPIM Benson Lau Wai Meng, said that taking new trend of cross-industry integrated development into account, the MICE industry may consider promoting cross-industry co-operation with other industries. On one hand, the industry can implement MICE projects in line with the local industrial development orientation and develop them into thematic exhibitions for specific industries through convention and exhibition platforms; on the other hand, they can expand MICE co-operation projects by making use of the advantages brought by the Greater Bay Area, in a bid to jointly establish signature conventions and exhibitions, and take turns holding these events.
The participating committee members raised opinions regarding how to enhance the MICE sector’s development and practitioners’ competitiveness
