MICE stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events. Unlike a normal leisure holiday, a MICE programme usually involves larger passenger movements, fixed schedules, conference requirements, corporate branding, group dining and several services operating at the same time.
A Europe MICE DMC helps connect these individual requirements into one practical destination programme.
Global Travel DMC supports travel agents, corporate travel companies, tour operators and event planners with MICE ground services across Europe, the UK and Scandinavia.
Destination support for agencies managing corporate and incentive clients.
Group logistics for meetings, events and incentive programmes.
Hotels, executive transfers and business group movements.
Destination transportation, dining and excursion arrangements.
Group accommodation planned around delegate numbers, room categories and programme location.
Private cars, vans, minibuses and coaches for delegate arrivals and departures.
Hotel, venue, restaurant, sightseeing and event transportation.
Destination coordination around conference hotels and meeting locations.
Restaurant transportation and group dining arrangements according to programme requirements.
Excursions and destination activities selected according to the group profile.
Professional local and multilingual guides according to destination availability.
Museums, city attractions, cruises and selected group experiences.
A corporate programme can begin with delegates arriving from several cities and on several flights. The airport movement must therefore be planned around actual flight information rather than one approximate group arrival time.
For dedicated transfer planning, view our Europe Airport Transfers .
Imagine a 70-person incentive group arriving in Frankfurt throughout the day.
Twenty passengers arrive at 08:00, another group at 11:30 and the final delegates reach the airport at 17:00.
Keeping the first passengers at the airport until the final flight would create a poor guest experience. A better approach may be to divide the arrivals into practical transfer windows using cars, vans or coaches according to group size.
The right MICE hotel is not always simply the most luxurious property.
Travel planners should consider whether the hotel location supports the programme efficiently.
Enough rooms in the required categories for the confirmed group.
Consider the distance between accommodation and conference venue.
Large vehicles need practical loading and unloading arrangements.
Meal schedules should work with early conference departures.
MICE groups can involve single rooms, twin rooms, VIP upgrades, speakers, organisers and different arrival or departure dates.
A final rooming list should clearly identify:
Corporate groups often have several transportation movements in the same day.
See our Europe Group Transportation page for more information on coaches, minibuses and multi-country movements.
Incentive programmes are usually designed to reward, motivate and connect employees, partners or customers. The experience therefore needs to feel different from an ordinary corporate meeting.
Depending on destination and group profile, possibilities may include:
A group dinner involves more than making a restaurant reservation.
The operations team may need to coordinate coach access, arrival timing, seating, menu selection, dietary requirements and return transportation.
Incentive and corporate programmes may combine several European destinations. One destination partner can help connect transportation, hotels and activities across the route.
Nordic programmes can create a distinctive incentive experience by combining modern cities with fjords, ferries, winter experiences and scenic landscapes.
A Scandinavian incentive may combine Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm or other Nordic destinations with private transportation, ferries, dining and sightseeing.
If your programme includes an overnight ferry, our Copenhagen to Oslo Ferry for Groups B2B Guide covers practical group planning in detail.
Different flight times may require several airport transfer windows.
An inexpensive hotel can become costly if delegates need long transfers to every meeting.
Coach access, parking and timing should be considered while the itinerary is being created.
Group meal requirements should be collected before restaurant deadlines.
Delegates need enough time to enjoy the destination rather than moving continuously between activities.
A detailed initial brief helps us understand the operational requirements of the programme.
