travel market
Treasure hunting
In China’s MICE market, incentive travel is still a relatively weak part
of the whole equation. Yet, the latest China’s Tourism Development Analy-sis and Forecast released by the Tour-ism Research Center of CASS (China’s Academy of Social Sciences) pointed out that in the next fi ve years, the trans-action scale of China’s business travel market is expected to maintain an annual growth rate by over 20%, which
includes incentive travel. According to one of the largest
domestic online travel agency Tuniu.com, in the fi rst half year of 2014, the sale of incentive travel products were generally fl at on year-on-year basis, not seeing any signifi cant increase. Among, 60% were outbound incentive travel products and Southeast Asian coun-tries were major destinations. Out-bound travel products are having an
active demand while domestic travel products are staying fl at. Th us domestic incentive market still hides large busi-ness opportunity with unlimited poten-tial waiting to be tapped. For high-end resort hotels in China, this brings both opportunities and challenges.
Mind shiftIncentive travel has been a gold mine for the Western tourist industry for
MICE NOW8
a long time. Companies which are capable of organizing incentive travel always have solid revenues and can aff ord high travel expenses. Incentive tourist groups stand for high profi t in both the hospitality and tourist indus-tries. As for the domestic market, especially for state-owned and private enterprises, material rewards such as cash and bonuses are still alternative incentive methods as incentive travel has so far not been regarded as a nec-essary part of employee welfare. But that is now changing. Th e intangible value that incentive travel can provide is gradually being recognized by the management level of enterprises.
Jianming Huang, President of
Hongyuan Software Co., Ltd, said his company organized an incentive trip to Taiwan several years ago, rewarding a batch of outstanding employees from the regional offi ce in Shanghai. Besides normal tourist destinations, a special visit to the company’s headquarters in Taipei was arranged. After visiting in person and knowing the scale of the company, the employees had more confi dence in their company and even shared their experiences with other col-leagues after their return to Shanghai, enlarging the positive eff ect brought by the incentive trip. “Incentive travel can show the company’s strength, enhance employee confi dence and inspire their morale,” said Jianming Huang.
A mind shift at the enterprise man-agement level is the key factor to the expansion of the domestic incentive travel industry. In the meantime, pro-moting policies by the authorities are indispensable as well. Th is is exempli-fi ed by the fact that in the United States, 2% of company’s sales are approved by the state to be used as incentive travel expenditure and can be charged to com-pany costs instead of personal income. Tax avoidance allows companies to be willing to organize incentive travel more often. On the contrary, the rel-evant rules are not available in China. Th ere are no concessions in terms of tax revenue regarding organizing incen-tive travel. Executives of several private or state-owned enterprises expressed their concerns to MICE Now about this. Th ey said they wished to orga-nize more incentive activities for their employees but were limited by company operations and budgetary constraints. If offi cial support can be off ered to enter-prises in terms of organizing incentive travel, it will accelerate the development of incentive travel market and contrib-utes to domestic demand and the local economy.
Elaborate plansIncentive travel is comprised of meet-
ings, travel, award ceremonies, ban-quets and several other elements. To plan an integrated incentive trip, every aspect must be involved from company decision-makers to event planners, from airline companies to the hospital-ity industry. Hotels are in the core posi-tion among all these links.
According to China’s Tourism Development Analysis and Forecast of 2014, the domestic business travel service industry mainly involves three types of corporate business travel ser-vice companies affi liated to traditional travel agencies, including domestic, international and joint venture tourism companies; online travel agencies based on internet technology; and domestic ticket agents.
MICE Now’s random check with several travel agencies shows that most of them do not have a specifi c depart-ment handling incentive travel business and group tours are their core busi-ness. On the other hand, online travel agencies have well-designed websites regarding their incentive department. According to interviews with several enterprises, the task of organizing incentive travel is usually assigned to their Human Resources Department and is generally outsourced to travel agencies. Traditional approaches are welcomed by organizers while service platforms continue to expand. Bur-geoning platforms such as professional incentive travel organizing companies will bring incentive travelers more choices.
Th e relative shortage of plan-ning platforms provides resort hotels a chance to show their own capabil-ity of planning and organizing incen-tive travel. Few years ago, Sheraton Haikou Resort managed to accommo-date an incentive travel group of 1,000 attendees from Taiwan. A specialized planning team from the hotel off ered their guests a slew of elaborate services including ordering 30 buses to take them to tourist destinations. >>

for a separate reception desk so they can check-in more easily,” added Shelly Yan, Sales & Marketing Executive at Pullman Xiamen Powerlong.
Resource integrationHigh-end resort hotels in hot tourist destinations enjoy unparalleled advan-tages in the incentive travel market. But how to integrate local tourism resources and highlight themselves in the market is defi nitely a challenge for these hotels.
Radisson Blu Resort Wetland Park Wuxi sits beside the Lianghong National Wetland Park, and is recog-nized as an upscale resort hotel refl ect-ing the beauty of the Chinese Wu cul-ture. Encompassed by rice fi elds and streams, the hotel boasts picturesque views and vintage decoration features including the traditional garden style of the Yangtze River Delta region, off ering guests an ultimate experience and setting a model for the blending of hotel and local tourist resources.
To taste local fl avor and explore local
ing accommodation for incentive trips. Well-known destinations, high-end hotels, leisure and recreation, and distinctive activities are all standard requests for incentive travelers. If they want to highlight a theme, team build-ing or theme banquets will be arranged in addition. Customized service is an essential requirement from incentive travelers to hotels.
“Earlier this year, a sales team of a high-end car brand came to Xiamen for their incentive travel event. In the meantime they had a launch event for a new car model in our hotel. To meet their needs, we removed the front gate of our hotel so they could display the new car model in the lobby,” said Roy Lin, Event Manager of Pullman Xia-men Powerlong.
“Incentive travelers require high-standard and full-fl edged services from hotel due to the particularity of incen-tive travel. Companies need the hotel to help with placing souvenirs or gift bags they have prepared for employees in their rooms and they will also ask
Hotels must connect themselves seamlessly to every link of an
incentive trip, especially in terms of communicating with guests. During the procedure of planning and orga-nizing, they should be aware of guests’ itineraries and requirements at all times, in order to meet their expecta-tions and leave them with unforget-table memories.
Customized serviceWhen choosing a hotel, the top pri-ority for an enterprise is high-quality relaxation and customized service. “We wish the whole trip to be stress-free and relaxing, and should also be distinctive,” said Donna Du, Director of Human Resources & Operations of East China, Colliers International. “Famous tourism destinations are preferable and fi ve-star resort hotels or above are necessary. We often hold awarding ceremonies so the hotel has to meet our specifi c requirements.”

in 2013 and it is estimated
that the number will edge out the United States in 2015. Th e incentive travel market will hit another peak by following this trend. High-end resort hotels should spare no eff ort in terms of improving their facilities in order to stand out in the domestic incentive travel market.

features are what else incentive travel-ers desire most. As mentioned above, to cater to an incentive travel group from Taiwan, waiters from Sheraton Haikou Resort dressed in traditional Hainan costumes and special dishes in local fl avor were served. As the Spring Fes-tival was yet to come, the hotel even set up a temporary gift shop for the guests, off ering them the full experience of the glamorous Hainan Island.
According to several high-end hotels in tourist cities, most incen-tive travelers prefer to outsource their itinerary to travel agencies and hotels do not provide relevant services. But tourism resources are natural advan-tage that hotels can depend upon when catering incentive travel groups.
“Most of the tour groups in Xiamen involve incentive travel,” said Shelly Yan from Pullman Xiamen Powelong. “For our hotel, the number is around 30%. We are taking more actions in promot-ing the relevant business considering the burgeoning market for incentive travel. And with Xiamen’s ample tour-ism resources, we will provide a unique package consisting of accommodation and travel. Th e incentive travel market will be our hotel’s next focus.”
Collaborating with tourist destina-tions and providing a package contain-ing accommodation and travel is a win-win move for both incentive travelers and hotels. According to Doris Hui, General Manager of Dorsett Shanghai, taking the advantage of being situated close to an array of tourist destina-tions in Shanghai, Dorsett Shanghai provides diff erent packages together with the local Tourism Administration, gaining a good reputation from guests.
Unlimited potentialIncentive travelers from overseas provide a signifi cant market as well. According to Zoe Lee, Director of Product and Marketing, MICE2China affi liated with Century Holiday Travel Group, foreign incentive travelers are
mainly from Southeast Asian countries and Aus-tralia and popular destina-tions include Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Shen-zhen, Kunming and Xiamen. Th e potential of domestic incentive travel market are still waiting to be tapped.
“With China’s robust eco-nomic growth, the market in fi rst-tier cities can meet foreign incentive travelers’ needs, but the high prices are a problem. Th at is why many foreign incentive travel-ers tend to go to second and third-tier cities, even though transporta-tion, local capacity and resources in terms of incentive travel remain to be improved in those cities,” said Zoe Lee.
Th e stable economic situation ensures the domestic business travel market keeps powering ahead. Accord-ing to the Global Business Travel Asso-ciation, China’s total expenditure on business travel reached US$245 billion

Q: Could you give us a brief intro-duction of the MICE facilities of Dorsett Shanghai? Meeting space in our hotel totals 500 square meters in all. Included is the biggest ballroom with a space of 245 square meters and also two function
rooms with spaces ranging from 90 square meters to 150 square meters. Situated close to the celebrated Cen-tury Park in the heart of Shanghai, our hotel offers guests broad vistas of lush green scenery of up to 270 degrees just from the windows. Our
hotel also boasts advanced MICE equipment and facilities which can be used for video conferences. Our LCD projectors are designed in a fl ex-ible lift type, which can meet various requirements. In addition, high-class sound systems are well prepared for

site design with 5 main colors in 264 guest rooms, which matches the 5 Chinese traditional elements- Mental, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. With the decoration of colored glazes, Western external design and Chinese inte-rior design makes a perfect complex. Our hotel group is headquartered in Hong Kong and has operations in Sin-gapore, Malaysia and England. With a multi-cultural background, we have a hotel culture that fuses East and West.
Q: From your perspective, how will the MICE industry in Shang-hai evolve in the coming years? Any changes and trends you see in 2014?I believe the MICE market outlook in Shanghai is still be very optimistic. The anti-corruption regulation issued by the state will impact on fi ve-star hotels in terms of their food and beverage sectors, but won’t have too much infl uence on international summit conferences and conference groups. Shanghai’s economic development will maintain growth. The Shanghai Theme Park and Disneyland will stim-ulate the incentive market to a great extent. Nowadays, more and more Chinese companies are learning from Western countries and organizing incentives to encourage their employ-ees. Therefore, I think the domestic incentive market will witness a posi-tive increase in the next couple of
years, especially for insurance, car dealers and the pharmaceuticals industry. Shanghai Disneyland will open in the end of 2015. Supporting facilities such as Outlets and theme park will make this area more diversi-fi ed and will surely attract many more people to Shanghai. I believe tourist arrivals in Shanghai will reach a new record and stimulate the hospitality industry in the near future.
Q: As a fast-growing hotel brand, what future plan will Dorsett implement in the Chinese market?As a Hong Kong-based hotel group, Dorsett debuted in Mainland China in 2009, in Wuhan. After that, we opened Dorsett Shanghai and Dorsett Grand Chengdu. In June this year, the very fi rst resort hotel of Dorsett-Lushan Resort opens in Lushan, Jiangxi Province. Situated close to Dongling Buddha, Lushan Resort features a new concept of Medical Hot Spring and Spa. Furthermore, a new hotel in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province is under preparation. It will be posi-tioned in a four-star hotel and have over 500 guest rooms. We will defi ne it as a MICE hotel. As well as in Dorsett Grand Chengdu, with more than 500 rooms and 1,000 square meter meet-ing space, it fi ts the defi nition of a MICE hotel. In the future, Dorsett will continue to rapidly expand and grow in major cities in China.
our MICE guests and can be applied to simultaneous interpretation. Fast wireless Internet is available for our guests as well.
Q: Who makes up the bulk of your MICE guests?In the MICE sector, our major guests are from exhibitions being held in the Shanghai New International Expo center which is a ten-minute walk away. We have also hosted many medium-scale product launches and banquets for 80 to 100 persons. As for international conferences, sit-ting near one of the biggest confer-ence venue-Kerry Parkside Pudong, our hotel is able to provide support in terms of guest rooms and meet-ing space. Besides, Himalayas Center nearby has its own auditorium. Con-certs and events are held frequently in the Shanghai Expo Site. We can support these venues as well. Training is also a prime part of our business. We have training companies come to conduct regular trainings from 20 to 50 persons. We also have cooperation with many transnational enterprises such as the annual training of Rolls-Royce and regular training sessions by Citibank 6 times a year.
Q: How does your hotel stay com-petitive in Shanghai’s booming MICE market?Our hotel focuses on small and medium-scale meetings. Meeting planners always pay close attention to the surroundings of the hotel. Fac-ing the picturesque Century Park, the largest urban oasis in central Shang-hai, has become our biggest selling point and the prime reason for guests to choose our hotel. As for the loca-tion, our hotel provides convenient traffi c access. Metro Line 2 can take our guest directly to Pudong Interna-tional Airport, Hongqiao Airport and Hongqiao Railway Station. The Shang-hai Maglev Train is only one station away. Our hotel also boasts an exqui-

Singapore is a stellar MICE city, maintaining a perfect tourism
impression among world-wide travelers with its stable political situation, conve-nient transportation, pleasant environ-ment and well-appointed facilities. Situ-ated at the tip of the Malayan peninsula, this 710-square-kilometer island has benefi ted from honest and effi cient gov-ernment, as well as the strong support of free trade and tourism since its indepen-dence. Singapore has now transformed itself from a port city mainly relying on cargo trans-shipment to a world-famous tourism city, luring global busi-ness travelers, especially Chinese people as a result of the similar cultural back-ground that they both share.
Countless laurelsOn the path of Singapore’s tourism development, the farseeing government has promoted the country’s MICE industry at full throttle by supporting the construction of MICE facilities and
staff training. English is one of Singa-pore’s offi cial languages and that helps make Singapore more international and open, which has led this country into being an award-winning MICE desti-nation on a global level.
Th e Singapore Exhibition & Con-vention Bureau was fi rst established in 1974. With 40 years of experience in the MICE industry, Singapore has received an array of accolades such as Asia’s Top Convention City for the 12th consecu-tive year by ICCA (International Con-gress and Convention Association) and Top International Meeting City for the 6th consecutive year by UIA (Union of International Associations) in 2013. It was also named as Asia’s Leading Meeting & Conference Destination by World Travel Awards last year.
“Singapore’s MICE appeal lies in its stable and conducive business envi-ronment, fi nancial strength and highly-skilled, multi-cultural workforce,” said Edward Chew, Regional Director of
Greater China, Singapore Tourism Board. “Th ese factors tend to attract international organizations to base their regional offi ces in the city, such as the International Air Transport Asso-ciation (IATA), World Vision Interna-tional (WVI) and the World Bank. As a global-Asia economic hub, we are in a good position to deliver regionally-relevant business event content in sec-tors like biomedical sciences, healthcare, environment and energy. In addition, we cluster complementary events around fl agship shows. Such an approach allows time-strapped delegates to opti-mize their business trips and maximize opportunities across the diff erent events within our entire travel eco-system.”
According to statistics provided by the Singapore Tourism Board, Singa-pore welcomed a record 15.6 million visitors who generated S$23.5 billion in tourism receipts in 2013. Of these, 3.5 million were MICE visitors with an estimated expenditure of S$5.5 billion.

Singapore’s MICE enjoyment
MICE NOW20
Embracing allBack to the 19th century when Singa-pore was a British colony, the country underwent a transition to become a port trading city. Immigrants from Britain, China, India, Indonesia and Malaya fl ocked in and brought with them a vibrant mix of culture. Nowadays, Sin-gapore has a population of 5 million, of whom 74% are Chinese. Mandarin is also one of the offi cial languages and Chinese characters are widely used in this country. Singapore’s MICE indus-try is invigorated by this multi-cultural background, which brings dynamic glamour in harmony.
For Chinese MICE groups, the advantages of Singapore’s MICE Industry are hard to resist. In 2013, tourist arrivals from China exceeded 2.3 million, making China one of the top fi ve markets for Singapore. Among all MICE travelers, 28% are Chinese. Year-on-year, Chinese MICE traveler num-bers were up 7%.
For holding MICE events in Sin-gapore, approvals are not required at all. Th e free market and an open heart has seen Singapore’s MICE market con-tinue to thrive.
MICE hubSingapore has always been a magnetic venue for business and leisure as well as being a garden city. Sightseeing, cater-ing, entertainment, business events and exhibitions together create an integrated tourism chain in this country. Facilities for both business and leisure such as World Resort Sentosa, Universal Stu-dios Singapore, Merlion’s Park, Suntec Singapore and Singapore EXPO ensure Singapore’s position as a prime MICE choice in Asia.
Standing in the heart of Singa-pore’s central business district, Marina Bay Sands is a landmark in Singa-pore’s MICE market. Th e integrated resort model with hotel, meeting, din-ing, entertainment and shopping, off ers
MICE delegates a one-stop and full-fl edged experience.
“Our extensive and dynamic spaces allow MICE customers to create an event tailored to meet their specifi c requirements,” said Mike Lee, Vice President of Sales at Marina Bay Sands. “Featuring over 120,000 square meters of fl exible space with 250 meet-ing rooms, a full service business centre and the capacity for 2,000 exhibition booths, the Sands Expo & Convention Centre can host up to 45,000 delegates at one time. It also has Southeast Asia’s largest ballroom which can accom-modate up to 11,000 delegates the-atre-style or 6,600 banquet-style. Our hotel is welcoming and experienced in handling international MICE groups, including China groups. Th is is exem-plifi ed with the availability of Chinese-speaking event managers and Chinese menu options.”
Rosy futureAs the premier aviation and shipping hub in Southeast Asia, convenient air transportation and shipping provides Singapore a solid support in com-merce and trade. High-end hotels have expanded their business in Singapore and by May this year, the gross num-
ber of available room nights exceeded 1.1 million, maintaining a stable annual increase by 5%. Construction of more integrated resorts is on the agenda. With a slew of offi cial moves underway, Singapore’s MICE industry has a rosy prospect.
“SECB will continue to place importance on developing industry capabilities by providing our local asso-ciations with learning opportunities, supporting their international bids for events, and creating and growing their own events,” said Edward Chew from the Singapore Tourism Board. “SECB recently partnered with major tour-ism players to launch ‘In Singapore Incentives & Rewards’ (INSPIRE) - a rewards program that leverages Singa-pore’s attractions to curate unique expe-riences with a strong local fl avor target-ing incentive travelers in the Chinese market. Th e curated itineraries centre on dining, entertainment, attractions, and activities that Chinese travelers are interested in when they visit Singapore. For INSPIRE China, SECB partnered with the Changi Airport Group, Resorts World Sentosa and Wildlife Reserves Singapore. Th ese partners off er specially packaged experiences that appeal to the incentive traveler.”
