What a tourism, travel and MICE website should show
Tour operators and event planners look for clear venue details, capacity figures and a working group contact on your site, both before a fair and when they follow up afterwards.
Dedicated venue pages
Before the fair, check that each destination, property or venue has its own page with room counts, meeting capacity and a contact for group enquiries that works.
Fast mobile galleries
Planners often open your site on a phone at the stand, so test how fast your venue galleries and floor plans load on mobile data.
Source-market languages
Offer your site in the languages of your source markets, so an incoming tour operator can read your group rates and package descriptions without translation.
QR code to fair page
Put a QR code on your stand that leads to a fair page with your MICE brochure and contact form, then scan each visitor's business card to log the conversation.
