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?
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.
