MICE is used to refer to a particular type of tourism in which large groups, usually planned well in advance, are brought together for some particular purpose.

Incentive tourism is usually undertaken as a type of employee reward by a 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.[3]

MICE tourism usually includes a well-planned agenda centered around a particular theme or topic, such as profession trade organization, a special interest group o r an educational topic.

Such tourism is often a specialized area with its own exhibition.

ocation of MICE events are normally bid on by specialized convention bureaux located in particular countries and cities and established for the purpose of bidding on MICE activities.

This process ofmarketingand bidding is normally conducted well in advance of the actual event, often several years, as securing major events can benefit the local economy of the host

city or country. Convention bureaux may offer financial subsidies to attract MICE events to their city. For example, the Yoko homa Convention and Visitors Bureau launched an

International Convention Subsidy in April 2009 to attract large-scale international conventions,[10]

while theKorea Tourism Organizationoffers discounts off room rates, airline rates, and

meeting venues.

MICE tourism is known for its extensive planning and demanding clientele.

It is a shorthand for business events that entail a large convergence of people.The JTA has been promoting the holding and attracting of international conferences on a national level, intensively leveraging resources held by the national and localgovernments, and the economic and academic spheres, towards the goal of increasing the number of international conferences held in Japan by more than 50% by theyear 2011.

Attracting and hosting international conferences have always been an important part of the JTA's policy2010 marks a breakthrough in Japan's commitment to general MICE promotion in terms of the creation of the MICE Promotion Action Plan, and will also see a number ofimportant international conferences such as APEC and COP10. It was therefore designated the Japan MICE Year, with a number of undertakings to be implemented. Thesuitability of Japan as a MICE venue will be publicized to the world through these projects, while at the same time, they will serve to inform the Japanese people of thesignificance of MICE, something that is not fully recognized. The existing policy mechanism and mindset of the parties involved are narrow-focused on attractinginternational conferences, and we are rolling out changes in such a way that the shift to promoting MICE in general is unmistakable, marking 2010 as the inaugural year ofthe MICE for Japan. In addition, Japan MICE Year will be implemented as a part of the Visit Japan Year 2010, which aims to achieve the Phase 1 goal of the program toeventually attract 30 million international visitors to Japan.

(Logo) The capital letter 'M' of MICE is used to render two figures shaking hands, in abstract. The rising sun, symbolizing Japan, is positioned above the figures. The

words "JAPAN MICE" was rendered in a larger si ze for better attention retention and visibility.

(Slogan) The word "Crossroads" not only indicates a simple concept of intersecting and 'a place where many people move through,' but also 'a moment of important

decision making.' On a deeper l evel, it frames Japan as the intersection of East and West, a meeting of different types of knowledge, and therefore a place capable of

playing a major role as a global MICE location.
