International Congress and Convention Association . Twitter: #ICCA13  

1.  Chinese  Event  Business  is  different  due  to  specific  governmental  influence  2.  Chinese  Event  Business  will  affect  the  International  Meeting  Industry  soon.  3.  More  individual  or  group  of  delegates  will  take  part  at  international  meetings/

business  events  worldwide  4.  More  Chinese  decision  makers  (e.g.  Board  members  in  Intl.  Associations  or  

Corporations)  will  be  influencing  international  meetings  and  the  selection  of  destination  

5.  More  China-­‐based  business  events  will  go  abroad,  starting  with  incentive  travel  to  Asian  countries  

6.  Few  ICCA  members/destination  have  already  a  “China  Strategy”  

Our Research Statements: We expected that….

Summary 1

   1.  Chinese  market  is  s,ll  a  mixture  of  command  economy  

and  market  economy  with  a  trend  moving  towards  a  market  economy.    

         All  the  government  based  organiza,on  mee,ngs  will  respond  sensi,vely  to  the  government  regula,ons.  

         All  the  market-­‐oriented  organiza,on  mee,ngs  will  follow  

the  market  rules,  this  part  of  the  MICE  market  will  grow.

Summary 2

   2.        Private  companies  are  growing  very  fast,  which  will    

increase  the  share  of  the  whole  mee,ngs.  Also,  following  the  Chinese  investment  in  overseas  countries,  we  can  predict  that  the  overseas  corporate  mee,ngs  will  grow  accordingly.  

               State-­‐run  companies  respond  sensi,vely  to  Chinese  

regula,ons,  its  mee,ngs  will  follow  the  governmental  regula,ons.

Summary 3

3.        State-­‐run  ins$tu$ons  have  the  need  to  exchange                  knowledge  with  overseas  countries,  so  state-­‐run  

ins,tu,ons  will  be  an  important  part  for  outbound  business  travel.  

               On  the  other  hand,  its  top-­‐down  mee,ngs  will  shrink                  because  of  the  new  regula,ons  from  the  government.

Summary 4

4.        Government  mee$ngs  are  currently  under  the  pressure                  of  the  new  regula,ons  on  cuGng  costs  on  mee,ngs,  

which  will  cause  the  downsize  of  its  share  of  the  whole  mee,ng  industry  in  China.

Summary 5

5.        Associa$ons  mee,ngs  is  s,ll  a  rela,vely  small  part  of                  the  industry,  which  has  a  poten,al  to  grow.  However,  

the  future  trend  is  not  clear  so  far.                  Some  grass-­‐roots  associa,ons  are  growing  fast,  this                  could  be  a  future  opportunity  for  outbound  business                        mee,ngs.
