Corporate travel has seen no decrease despite the introduction of video conferencing in business. On the contrary, businesses believe that meeting face-to-face gives more of a personal touch than the impersonal nature of video conferencing. This has led to a growth in business tours and the resulting increase in MICE travel (Meeting, Incentive, Conference and Exhibition), which has seen a boost. In India, Goa is a popular destination for Mice travel.

Corporate travel requires certain facilities that hotels and resorts in Goa have begun to provide quite well. There are multiple hotels and resorts that ensure that the facilities required for business meetings like projectors, internet connectivity and so on are met easily, making Goa an ideal spot for business tours. Business tours tend to be more for the purposes of conference and meetings, and Goa is ideally suited for both these purposes.

There are several three star, four star and five star hotels and resorts that can accommodate people for these conferences and meetings. These hotels also tend to have difference deluxe or super deluxe options as well. These ...
... hotels take care of audio visual services, equipment and supply rentals, event scheduling, off-site and on-site management, leaving the businesses to concentrate on other matters. Companies can choose hotels or resorts that they would like to reserve for their meeting, depending upon the number of people coming on the business tour, the number of days and their own company budgets.

Exhibitions or seminars also encourage business tours. Certain companies or businesses may wish to showcase certain aspects of their business as promotions. Or they may wish to hold a seminar to increase their employee’s knowledge about a certain aspect related to the business. In either case, Goa is a good option. Hotels in Goa are well equipped to handle such matters. Goa’s diverse hotels have developed the knack of holding meetings, conferences, seminars, exhibitions, and product launches.

Meetings between companies are but one aspect of Mice travel. There are also companies that use Goa as an excellent incentive holiday destination. Incentive travels, where employees meeting the required target are provided incentive holidays, are also on the rise. This is a part of Mice travel which is all the more popular. Unlike the other kinds, this is far less business related and is meant to encourage employees to relax. Goa, famous as a place of rest, relaxation and partying, encourages businesses to choose it as the destination for their incentive tours.
