This survey is a joint research project between Japan MICE Association and Keio University Graduate School of Media Design. The purpose of the survey is to understand future trends in business travel demand and market recovery due to the impact of the corona crisis. We greatly appreciate your taking the time to complete this survey.

Survey period: Jul. 1, 2020 - Aug. 1, 2020

Survey targets: Meeting & Incentive participants, and related parties working to attract them

Survey method: Anonymous web questionnaire

1. Purpose of the survey

In recent years, the need for "Meetings (M)" and "Incentives (I)" for business travel (MICE)* has increased. In the past, MICE has had a strong image of Exhibitions and Conferences, but in terms of market size, “M” and “I” hold a much larger proportion. For tourism-related industries, instead of focusing on business that are mainly personal weekends and vacations, this sector that also includes weekday needs will become key to future growth.

In consideration to the recovery of the travel industry after-Corona and how they respond to risks, we are researching the needs and issues of related parties and users, so that it can be used to develop service and business for future market expansion.

We greatly appreciate your cooperation in this survey.
