Definizione

MICE è un acronimo del turismo business che identifica quattro tipologie di eventi: Meetings (riunioni aziendali), Incentives (viaggi-premio), Conferences (convegni), Exhibitions (fiere). Si distingue dal turismo leisure perché lo scopo del soggiorno è professionale, con budget aziendale e logistica complessa.
