Other key markets for Bali include Asia Pacific and Australia, with many MICE clients coming from the IT and automotive industries.
“We are quite pleased that MICE planners are recognizing Bali as a top business event destination. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort’s exceptional events team works closely with planners to customize and precisely execute all elements to ensure group guests are well accommodated throughout their time with us,” said Dario Orsini, general manager at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort. “Meet with Ease is designed to simplify the process of organizing a meeting or event so that it is efficient, yet relaxed, resulting in a successful group gathering and the highest-level guest experience.”
