Local Services and Amenities
Bodrum's well established tourism based
infrastructure easily provides all the local services required by the MICE
industry.
Accommodation
It almost goes without saying that Bodrum is well served
with hotels, that said, the type of hotel required to host
corporate events must be more than a regular tourist hotel.
It is true to say that ten years ago the number of
hotels in the Bodrum region able to accommodate every aspect
of a conference or seminar were very limited. That is not the
case today, the recent rapid expansion of Bodrum
has seen a commensurate influx of major international chain
hotels all fully capable of hosting the most demanding
corporate event.
Bodrum is seasonal, so the
main summer season is not a practical time to consider any
kind of corporate event other than small group, brainstorming
breaks. But, the early and late summer season and the winter
season are ideal, providing a good choice of accommodation
and an infrastructure capable of handling much larger
numbers than any corporate event would demand.
As part of our restructuring to accommodate MICE activities
in our overall portfolio we have compiled a
database of all suitable hotels in the region as well
as a manifest of their facilities. We are therefore well
placed to knowledgably advise international event organizers which
hotel is most suitable for any specific event.
Après Convention
When the three MICE requirements of
transportation, local services and accommodation have been
met, elements which are more or less the same wherever the venue, the
final choice of location has to be the what the location
itself has to offer, it is this element that makes Bodrum unique
from all other locations.
We like to call this element
‘Après Conference’ and Bodrum has to do nothing
other than just be what it
is, Bodrum, a popular holiday destination that has always been favored by
tourists. It's a dynamic, cosmopolitan city with a vibrant nightlife, every
type of watersport, international class restaurants and yet
is just minutes away from tranquil countryside, unspoiled rural
villages and a host of ancient, historical sites.
In the Bodrum region it's possible to experience every
aspect of what Turkey has to offer from modern
sophistication to an unspoiled rural scene that is not too
different from how it was fifty years ago, all in a single day.
The Bodrum region is not just about tourism it also produces olive oil, wine and handmade carpets, a visit to where these products are made by traditional methods is entertaining, instructive and great fun.
