The news: Seoul ranks third globally for international meetings, behind only Paris and Vienna, according to recent global meeting statistics. The ranking reflects Asia-Pacific's emerging dominance in attracting large-scale corporate events, conferences, and association gatherings.
Why it matters for MICE operators: Indian operators increasingly compete with Seoul, Bangkok, Singapore, and Hong Kong for the same regional and international conference business. Seoul's third-place finish signals that Asian cities are winning deals that might once have defaulted to European destinations. For Indian DMCs bidding on corporate incentive travel or international conferences, this means clients are actively comparing Asia-Pacific alternatives — you must differentiate on cost, cultural experience, logistics, and post-event ROI metrics.
The takeaway: Benchmark your conference proposals against Seoul's offerings and articulate India's competitive advantages — unique experiences, lower costs, and accessibility for Indian attendees.
