What support can Busan Convention and Visitors Bureau offer MICE groups?
We offer financial support for conferences and can help with arranging and marketing international events. We also arrange pre-event site inspections. We can offer special discounts of up to 60 per cent on hotels, venues and transportation. We also offer services including discount coupons for tourist hotspots, personal tour guides and post-tour programmes.

What are Busan’s main assets for hosting international events?
Busan is the only Korean city that has defined international conventions as one of its strategic industries. The Busan City Government, BCVB, Bexco (Busan Exhibition & Convention Center) and many member hotels are all focused on attracting international events here. 

We have more than 9,000 hotel rooms including five-star accommodation and serviced apartments, to various mid-range hotels. More than 5,000 of these rooms are located within ten minutes of Bexco.

Busan is full of international nightlife including bars, restaurants, nightclubs and beaches, and enjoys mild and comfortable temperatures. It is not so hot during summer and not so cold during winter.

What international events has Busan recently hosted?
Last year we hosted the Unicity Global Convention, this year we hosted the OECD World Forum and in the next three years we will host the 7th World Congress on ITS, the International Association of Ports and Harbors, and the 95th Lions Clubs’ International Convention.
