“Globalization of businesses, rapid increase in SMEs, and the surge in presence of corporate industries have contributed to the growth of the Asia-Pacific M!CE industry. Other significant factors that promoted the growth of the market are rise in business travel coupled with change in lifestyle of business travellers to seek leisure trips, rapid urbanization and increase in disposable incomes.
