The MICE sector is acknowledged as an important part of the tourism industry in the Auckland region. It has been incorporated as a key area for development in both the Auckland regional development plan and the NZTS 2015. However, despite this acknowledgement, little attention has been paid to the sector to date. If the MICE sector is to fulfill its potential as a means for achieving the objectives laid out for it in the Auckland Regional Development Plan and the NZTS 2015, this lack of attention needs remedying.
As has been shown is this article, a strategic planned approach to development is most likely to lead to a robust and sustainable MICE sector for the region. The first step in any strategic planning process is conducting a situational analysis. To conduct a situational analysis, a significant amount of information is required, so that current strengths and weaknesses, along with future opportunities and challenges, can be identified. In the case of the MICE sector, this means gathering information from both the supply and demand sides of the sector, in other words, from venues and other suppliers as well as consumers and those attending, organising, and exhibiting at MICE events.
This article documents a strategic process to obtain the information required and then conduct a situational analysis for the MICE sector in the Auckland region. This situational analysis will facilitate effective strategic planning for the sector as a whole and by individual organizations within the sector.
Research Notes highlights research in progress, where the developed methods and models make a significant contribution to the literature of the field of study.
