In an attempt to capitalise on the lucrative international and regional meetings market opened up by the Reed Travel Exhibitions’ CIBTM trade show last week, the Dongcheng District in Beijing has hosted the inaugural meeting of China’s Meetings Industry Advisory Board.
Dongcheng District’s Tourism Administration Director General, Li Xuemin, said the district would soon issue its own incentives travel policy “to attract more international meetings to the area”.
Li claims the district’s advantageous location and convenient transport are backed up by a variety of meeting facilities and cultural and entertainment complexes.
Members of the new China Meetings Industry Advisory Board include the CEO of industry consultancy Gary Glimmer and Company, Gary Glimmer; President of MCI Group, Roger Tondeur; President of MCI Asia Pacific, Robin Lokerman; VP of Silversea Crusies, Sean Mahoney; VP of the China Tourism Academy, Dai Bin; Director of the China International Conference Centre for Science, He Jian; MD of the Beijing China Professional International Travel Service, Liu Ping; Chief Editor of Meetings China, Wang Qingdao; and the Vice MD of Inbound Tourism of Incentive and Meetings Development of the China International Travel Service (CITS), Yao Hong.
