Indonesia becomes ICCA member again

JAKARTA (indo.com): Indonesia has reportedly been reaccepted as a member of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) after being temporarily suspended from the association's membership, the Ministry for Culture and Tourism said in a press release recently.

Indonesia was suspended from the ICCA's membership because it had arrears in its annual membership contributions amounting to Eur 4.212. The payment of the arrears shows that the government is serious in developing the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) industry in the country.

Indonesia has a number of potential destinations for MICE that need to be further developed. "It is natural that overseas markets frequently pose questions on Indonesia's seriousness in developing the MICE industry," an observer said.

ICCA - with its international networks - can help develop the MICE industry in the country, he added.
