AIRLINES are jumping on the 2012 Korea Convention Year bandwagon (TTG Asia e-Daily, February 22, 2012) to dole out discounts and incentives for MICE groups headed to South Korea.

Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are extending discounted airfares to MICE organisers and participants (for events with 500 participants or more from Asia, or more than 1,000 international participants).

Asiana Airlines will also provide special services for qualified MICE groups, such as an exclusive check-in counter with company logo display on departure from South Korea, group seating arrangements, exclusive extras for VIP delegates, special freight arrangements for bulky and fragile cargo, and the option of arranging a welcome call onboard.

Asiana Airlines is the official sponsor for International Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012, which will take place from May 12 – August 12.
