[Gyeonggi MICE in 2025: A Year of Even Greater Momentum🌟]

① MICE Attraction & Hosting Support Program: 88 Events Supported

Throughout 2025, Gyeonggi Province stood at the very center of Korea’s MICE landscape.

From international conferences and global events to incentive tours, a wide spectrum of MICE programs unfolded across the province, once again reaffirming Gyeonggi as a premier MICE hot spot.🔥

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization provided agile, on-site support to ensure the successful delivery of each event, striving to create an environment that satisfied both participants and organizers alike.

In the coming year, we look forward to returning with even richer MICE content and enhanced support, so you can truly “fall in Gyeonggi” and experience the province like never before.💪

② Gyeonggi Unique Venue Support Program

This year, the Gyeonggi Unique Venue program implemented various support projects, including growth index evaluations to strengthen self-capacity and MICE venue consultations, laying the foundation to soar even higher.

① Region-Specific MICE Development Project

In April, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization finalized the selection of four promising MICE events from cities across Gyeonggi-do through the 2025 Gyeonggi Region-Specific MICE Development Project. This program aims to identify conventions linked to region-specific assets and nurture them into iconic global MICE events of representing Gyeonggi-do.

The four selected events are as follows:

This initiative goes beyond simple financial support. It features a comprehensive process in which experts work alongside organizers throughout the entire preparation cycle, including pre-event consulting, on-site evaluation, and post-event consulting. In September, the second phase of the program—the on-site evaluation—was carried out. This stage provided a meaningful opportunity to jointly explore future development directions with each event organizer.

② Development of Gyeonggi-do’s Sustainable MICE Guidelines

Across the global MICE industry, the importance of ESG values, including environmental protection, community engagement, and transparent operations, continues to grow. In response, Gyeonggi MICE established the “Gyeonggi-do MICE ESG Strategy” this year and developed a set of core indicators that MICE stakeholders can practically implement on-site. Through the development of the Gyeonggi-do’s Sustainable MICE Guidelines, Gyeonggi-do is working to lay a foundation for systematically measuring, managing, and improving the sustainability performance of MICE events held in the region.🍃

ESG refers to Environment, Social, and Governance factors, which are key criteria for assessing the sustainability of industries. To apply these principles to the MICE sector, Gyeonggi-do structured the guidelines around the following three pillars.

These efforts implemented this year are laying an important foundation for Gyeonggi MICE to advance as a sustainable industry in the years ahead.

Gyeonggi MICE In-Person Events

Throughout this year, Gyeonggi-do actively carried out a wide range of initiatives to attract MICE events and support their successful delivery. From Gyeonggi MICE Day to participation in major domestic and international MICE exhibitions, overseas MICE stakeholders’ familiarization (fam) tours that offered firsthand regional experiences, and the Gyeonggi-do District MICE Capability Enhancement Training, efforts to strengthen local capabilities were implemented on all fronts.✨ Dynamic promotion and networking activities continued throughout the province.

It was a year defined by dedication and mobility, as the Gyeonggi MICE team traveled far and wide to showcase the region’s MICE appeal and create new opportunities for events to be held in Gyeonggi-do. Looking ahead, the Gyeonggi MICE team will continue to work on the ground, striving to unlock even greater opportunities through proactive engagement and close collaboration.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who joined Gyeonggi-do and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization on this MICE journey throughout 2025. Thanks to your continued interest and support, Gyeonggi MICE has grown stronger and embraced new possibilities with renewed confidence.

As the year draws to a close, we hope you enjoy moments of warmth, rest, and happiness amid your busy days. In the coming year, Gyeonggi MICE will return with even richer news and more substantial support.

We sincerely thank you for joining us on this journey.

Wishing you a joyful year-end, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2026! 🎉
