The MICE industry is one of the many contributors to environmental degradation. The air and ground travel that bring visitors to MICE events around the world contributes to carbon emissions, while the waste generated at MICE events is another major pollution factor. Recognizing these issues and understanding the need for sustainability, Busan and the BTO CVB are striving to operate MICE events in ways that align with ESG management principles.
27th of November 2024
In 2024, the Busan Convention Bureau (BTO CVB) actively promoted Busan as a premier MICE destination at several major industry events, including ITB Asia 2024 in Singapore, IBTM World 2024 in Barcelona, Spain, and the “2024 Meet Busan in Thailand” event in Bangkok.

As Korea’s second-largest city, Busan is increasingly gaining attention as a MICE destination on the global stage. Offering beautiful seaside environments, rich cultural heritage, and unique venues, Busan leaves international visitors with lasting memories. This year has seen new additions to the lineup of Busan Unique Venues. Are you looking for a space that will make for a unique event? Want to have the most “Busan experience” possible during your stay?
8th of November 2024
Busan’s MICE industry has matured significantly since the opening of BEXCO, the city’s landmark MICE venue, in 2001, and the establishment of the Convention Bureau in 2005. To be recognized as an expert in any field, one typically needs at least 20 years of experience, and this principle applies to national industries as well. With over 20 years of history, Busan’s MICE industry is now in need of a renaissance.
