2011 Plasma Surface first adopted for International Seminar

 


Busan Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Korea Tourism Organization introduced MICE Cards for the 5th International Conference on Surface Plasmon Photonics, which was held at the BEXCO from May 15-20. This marked the debut for MICE cards in Korea. 10,000-won MICE cards were given to participants as souvenirs, and card holders will be able to recharge the card at the information desk in BEXCO and use it for the next 5 years.

 

About 600 domestic and international conference participants will have the opportunity to use these MICE Cards, which are a kind of debit card that people can use after recharging them. By paying with these cards, users can enjoy discounts at various cultural facilities, including galleries and museums, shopping centers and department stores, as well as markets and tourist facilities, including tourist attractions, restaurants, casinos, spas and bars located close to the conference venue. MICE Cards can also be used for transportation. The card also comes with information on sightseeing in Busan, so participants in the conference can enjoy discounts while sightseeing in Busan.

 

 

An official of Busan CVB said, “Launching the MICE Cards in Busan for the first time in Korea proves Busan as a developed international convention & conference city.” and added, “We are always striving to provide a better environment for the hosting of international conferences in Busan.”
