Druk Asia launches MICE Bhutan; offers tailored services for events
Building on its expertise in luxury travel, Druk Asia, a leader in Bhutan's bespoke travel market, has launched MICE Bhutan, a new division dedicated to bespoke event planning for business-leisure travellers to Bhutan.
The move comes on the heels of Druk Asia being awarded the 'Best Luxury Travel Specialist in Bhutan' by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, a prestigious global award programme recognising the finest luxury goods and services worldwide.
As the official Singapore representative of Royal Bhutan Airlines (Drukair) and tour operator in Bhutan, Druk Asia handles every detail from ticketing and visa applications to the creation of personalised itineraries, ensuring a stress-free and enriching experience for discerning clients in search of the extraordinary.
MICE Bhutan offers tailored event solutions for corporate groups and business meetings, seamlessly blending luxurious retreats, team-building experiences, and cultural exploration for learning journeys. Clients will enjoy highly personalised itineraries, enhanced by thoughtful touches like customised mementos, chef's table dining experiences, and private cultural performances. With sustainability at its core, Druk Asia ensures every event is eco-conscious, creating memorable and meaningful moments for participants.
To attract more MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events to Bhutan, the Department of Tourism offers a Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) waiver of up to five nights for MICE participants, which applies to all visitors entering Bhutan. For any additional nights beyond the waiver, participants will be required to pay the SDF fee of $100 per night. This initiative allows attendees to extend their stay and explore the beauty of Bhutan, while also contributing to the country's sustainable tourism efforts.
'We believe that true luxury lies in extraordinary moments that stay with you and in discovering the soul of a place. Each travel itinerary is crafted with intention, weaving together Bhutan's breathtaking landscapes and its profound spirituality, creating a true sense of belonging in a place that feels like home, yet unlike anywhere else. The deep relationships Druk Asia has fostered over the years with local communities, artisans, and influential voices in Bhutan enable us to craft exclusive and authentic experiences. These connections grant us unparalleled access to the country's hidden gems, ensuring that every event, meeting, and journey is enriched by the wisdom, hospitality, and unique perspectives of the Bhutanese. By nurturing these meaningful relationships, we create profound and impactful experiences that resonate long after the journey ends,' said Joni Herison, Managing Director, Druk Asia and MICE Bhutan.
Experience Bhutan's finest
Founded in 2009, Druk Asia has established itself as the premier provider of tailored journeys that unveil the enchanting allure of one of the world's most spiritual and unspoiled destinations.
Whether exploring ancient monasteries, trekking through untouched forests, or indulging in holistic wellness, travellers can trust Druk Asia to deliver transformative experiences that leave lasting impressions, it said.
With a mission to offer transformative travel experiences, Druk Asia has welcomed over 18,000 travellers globally, championing sustainable tourism, cultural preservation, and community impact through strategic partnerships and its C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T framework. To further deepen travellers' appreciation of Bhutan, the company has also published Bhutan Travelog, a pictorial travel guide designed as both an inspirational and practical resource for exploring the country. A portion of the book's proceeds supports local charitable initiatives, reinforcing Druk Asia's commitment to uplifting Bhutanese communities and promoting positive social impact.

Abu Dhabi to host inaugural M&I Expo in April 2026
The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) and Worldwide Events have signed a strategic partnership to host the highly anticipated M&I Expo in Abu Dhabi from April 14 to 16, 2026. M&I, a leading events provider and global innovator in the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector and a recognised event brand within the portfolio of Worldwide Event's, will bring to Abu Dhabi the 'MICE 1,000', a curated group of the most senior, influential decision-makers in the global MICE industry for three days of networking, knowledge-sharing, and business development. The exclusive event, to be hosted at the state-of-the-art Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), further cements Abu Dhabi's growing position as a global MICE hub, with the goal to strengthen collaboration and mutual value creation, while shaping a robust future for the sector in the emirate. Building on the previous success of M&I's sold-out event: M&I Fest Global, M&I Expo in Abu Dhabi will feature immersive booths, compelling branded spaces and storytelling-driven showcases attracting global exhibitors, including tourism boards, convention and visitor bureaus (CVBs), major hotel brands, conference centres, destination management companies (DMCs), and technology providers who will present their offerings to an audience of high-calibre industry professionals. Mubarak Al Shamsi, Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau Director, DCT Abu Dhabi said: 'Hosting the M&I Expo in Abu Dhabi reinforces the emirate's strength and sustained growth as a premier destination for business events and incentive travel. Our latest achievement reflects our strategic commitment to building a world-class MICE ecosystem offering cutting-edge event venues and exceptional hospitality rooted in our core cultural values. With iconic venues such as Qasr Al Watan and Yas Marina Circuit, complemented by Abu Dhabi's diverse leisure attractions such as the newly opened teamLab Phenomena, we are confident this event will showcase the very best of what our destination has to offer.' Abu Dhabi's emergence as a global MICE destination is complemented by a diverse, value-added offering across heritage, entertainment, adventure and beyond, and driven by the strategic vision of DCT Abu Dhabi to enhance infrastructure and support event organisers and industry partners. Richard Barnes, CEO of M&I said: 'Following the success of two incredible editions of M&I Fest in 2024 and 2025, the event has naturally evolved into something bigger and bolder. M&I Expo aims to deliver more valuable connections than any show that's previously existed. We don't want to become another big faceless exhibition where quality is diluted, time is wasted, and people are lost; our focus is on quality over quantity, we aim to attract the right level of delegates: M&I Expo caters exclusively to the elite of the MICE industry; the 1,000 most influential players in the MICE industry: the MICE 1,000. We believe that 1,000 is the sweet spot, not too big, not too small. It's just the right size.' The M&I Expo programme will feature M&I's market-leading one-to-one pre-scheduled meeting format alongside a fully inclusive networking programme with hosted lunches, evening socials, and keynote speakers. In addition to the exhibition programme, buyers will have the opportunity to experience Abu Dhabi firsthand; engaging with its unique venues, culture, and hospitality offering. Hosting the M&I Expo aligns with Abu Dhabi's Tourism Strategy 2030, which aims to establish the emirate as a global leader in culture and tourism, while serving as a catalyst for diversified economic growth. Business events such as M&I Expo are instrumental in advancing this vision, contributing to tourism sector development, promoting knowledge exchange, fostering innovation and creating lasting benefits for all stakeholders. This announcement comes as Abu Dhabi's tourism sector continues to grow in 2025, welcoming 1.4 million overnight guests in the first quarter alone. International visitation increased compared to the same period in 2024, with strong performance from key source markets including India, China, Russia, the UK, and the USA.

Exhibition World Bahrain targets geo-cloning as catalyst for global growth
As the global MICE and Business Events industries rapidly evolve, Exhibition World Bahrain (EWB) is embracing geo-cloning — a strategy that replicates successful event brands in new geographic markets — as a key pillar of its growth and global positioning. This forward-thinking approach enables EWB to attract high-profile, large-scale events while strengthening Bahrain's reputation as a dynamic, world-class destination for business tourism, EWB said. By combining innovation, strategic partnerships, and deep insight into international event trends, EWB is redefining its role on the global stage and ensuring long-term relevance in a highly competitive landscape. "Among the most transformative strategies we are actively pursuing is geo-cloning, a model that offers significant potential to enhance EWB's international profile and position the Kingdom of Bahrain as a preferred destination for high-impact, large-scale events," said Sara Ahmed Buhiji, CEO of BTEA and Chairman of EWB. The Geo-Cloning Strategy Rather than starting from scratch, geo-cloning involves adapting proven event formats to new audiences and regional dynamics — respecting cultural context while leveraging existing brand equity. At EWB, geo-cloning is not a simple duplication exercise; it is a targeted, data-informed initiative that supports Bahrain's broader economic ambitions under Economic Vision 2030. By identifying high-potential events from mature MICE markets and localising them for the Gulf region, we are accelerating market penetration while ensuring relevance and long-term value, she said. "Collaboration is central to this process. We work closely with global organisers, sector specialists, and industry associations toco-create event models tailored to the needs of regional audiences and aligned with our strategic goals," Buhiji said. Building a Roadmap for Strategic Growth "Our Business Development team is focused on identifying exclusive and commercially viable opportunities for our partners. Through geo-cloning, we are curating a roadmap that supports the introduction of new international events in sectors critical to Bahrain's national development goals—such as healthcare, sustainability, energy, artificial intelligence, tourism, food and beverage, and fintech," Buhiji said. To strengthen this strategy, EWB is also pursuing and working with industry leaders and global event organisers to co-create opportunities backed by attractive incentive programmes. This collaborative approach enhances value for event organisers while targeting a steady pipeline of international content that resonates with diverse audiences. From Bahrain to Frankfurt EWB's participation in globally recognised MICE and Business Events platforms such as IMEX Frankfurt, ATM Dubai, and IBTM Barcelona, allows it to engage directly with key decision-makers, promote EWB's distinctive value proposition, and identify event formats with high geo-cloning potential, she said. "These engagements are key to identifying opportunities and generating productive conversations that materialise into tangible business. Another key element is our active engagement and partnership with leading international MICE associations such as UFI, ICCA, AIPC and others, that enables us to stay attuned to global trends and contribute meaningfully to Bahrain's international positioning in the sector." A Broader Economic Impact The benefits of geo-cloning extend well beyond venue bookings. Each resulting event catalyses activity across local economies — benefiting hotel operators, airlines, retailers, and F&B providers. This ripple effect reinforces the business events sector's role as a key economic enabler and supports national efforts to drive sustainable employment and private sector growth. Every successful replication of a global event enhances Bahrain's credibility as a MICE destination and strengthens its role as a regional hub for collaboration and innovation. Shaping the Future of MICE and Business Events At its core, geo-cloning is not merely a business development tactic — it reflects a broader philosophy of innovation, adaptability, and strategic foresight. "At Exhibition World Bahrain, we remain committed to delivering exceptional experiences for our partners and stakeholders by continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible in event hosting and management," said Buhiji.
