BODRUM ON THE MAP
In 2011 we started our promotion campaign to establish Bodrum as a new destination in Turkey for corporate events.

CORPORATE EVENT READY
Work on the new Bodrum airport extension is nearing completion. A new international terminal is expected to be in service during 2012.
The new terminal will handle direct scheduled international flights opening a long awaited faster gateway to the world.

The only element that makes a corporate event unique is it's location; Bodrum, one of the worlds pearls, is unique..
   
WHAT IS MICE?

Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events

The acronym MICE is often applied inconsistently, the 'E' sometimes referring to Exhibitions and the 'C' sometimes referring to Conventions or Congress.

MICE is used to refer to a particular type of tourism in which large and sometimes not so large groups, planned usually well in advance, are brought together for some particular purpose.

Most components of MICE are well understood, perhaps with the exception of Incentives. Incentive tourism is usually undertaken as a type of employee reward by an company or institution for targets met or exceeded, or a job well done. Unlike the other types of MICE tourism, Incentive tourism is usually conducted purely for entertainment, rather than professional or educational purposes, a role Bodrum is more than qualified to provide.

MICE tourism usually consists of a well planned agenda centered around a particular theme, such as a hobby, a profession, or an educational topic.

MICE tourism is a specialized area with its own trade shows and practices. MICE events are normally bid on by specialized 'convention' bureaus located in particular countries and cities and established for the purpose of bidding on MICE activities.

This process of marketing and bidding is normally conducted well in advance of the actual event, often several years.

MICE tourism is known for its flawless planning and demanding clientele.
aegean AND MICE?

MICE is new in Bodrum, but now that the region has come of age in terms of international transport links and world class hotels, its time has arrived.

Mindful of the demanding nature of international corporate event organizers we have adapted the skills we have developed over the years in pure holiday tourism to the challenge of corporate event tourism.

Bodrum's infrastructure is geared up for large numbers of visitors during the summer season. The early and late summer season provides an ideal window for hosting corporate events and of course that same infrastructure is still available

Most of the large, conference capable hotels are also open all year round, so even winter season events are possible.

We are a congress and conference organizer and one of the foremost tourism companies in the Bodrum region with a team well practiced in the art of moving large numbers of people from A to B quickly, without fuss.

We arrange suitable accommodation, gala dinners and perhaps most importantly of all, we solve the inevitable crises quickly, efficiently and in a spirit of understanding that something almost always goes 'not quite' according to plan.
