Iloilo MICE Alliance – collaboration like no other

The Department of Tourism (DOT) lauded the strong partnership displayed by the Iloilo MICE Alliance after it showcased solid collaboration to promote Iloilo as the next Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions and Events (MICE) destination in the country with the Iloilo MICE Campaign Launching on October 10, 2019.
DOT Region VI Director Atty. Helen J. Catalbas commended the private sector and the LGUs of the City and Province of Iloilo and Guimaras for the support each contributed to create attractive incentives that organizers planning to hold their MICE activities here surely cannot ignore.

Director Catalbas added the Iloilo MICE Alliance has closely worked together, showcasing their best services, amenities, facilities and cuisines to “wow” the invited Chief Executives and Managers of the top associations in the country.

“The Iloilo MICE Campaign Launch is a showcase to give our invited guests a lot of reasons to choose Iloilo as their next MICE destination in the Philippines. Iloilo has come a long way in proving itself to exceed expectations when hosting both international and national MICE activities”, Director Catalbas emphasized.

The big league in the hotel industry collaborated to curate a special menu for all the delegates attending the Iloilo MICE Campaign Launching. The menu is a fusion of locally sourced ingredients for a gourmet experience on its own – lemon grass, batuan, sigarillas, and Ilonggo cacao.

“Iloilo is a culinary haven and Ilonggos take serious pride in preparing food for their guests. Only the freshest and the best ingredients are chosen to make a cuisine that will put even picky-eaters on bliss”, Director Catalbas explained.

Apart from the hotels, Iloilo Convention Center and other sectors such as transport operators, tour operators, MICE Organizers, malls, restaurants and the LGUs of City and Province of Iloilo also extended maximum support to make a spectacular show during the campaign launch.

“The Iloilo MICE Campaign Launch is not a show of one, it is a collaborative effort of all sectors to promote Iloilo as an ideal MICE destination in Southern Philippines”, Director Catalbas concluded.
