New Destinations, New Opportunities

A quiet revolution is underway, transforming the tourism landscape in India. While metro cities will continue to host major events as well as global travelers, there is a next wave of opportunity that is continuing to grow from places that have traditionally been left off the radar. Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities – from Bhubaneswar to Surat, from Indore to Ranchi – are quickly becoming important destinations for leisure and business travel. For the evolution-minded travel and MICE companies, now is the time to access untapped value, culture, and engagement.

Infrastructure and Intent Are Aligning

With the greater desire for smaller, less expensive and more experience-driven travel, India’s overlooked and lesser-known cities are the ideal destination. With more and more airports, better roads, and government initiatives like the UDAN scheme and smart city initiatives, the infrastructure is coming along quickly. The question is no longer Why here but Why not here for a business or corporate traveler?

Local Knowledge, National Impact

MICE Kart, a recognized partner in corporate event planning, helps change it. MICE Kart leverages its longstanding connections in unpretentious but developing destinations, paired with a team familiar with local intricacies, to help corporate entities rethink their event venues. Whether they help identify authentic venues, expertly manage all logistical arrangements, or create an incentive trip deep-rooted in the cultural essence of the destination, MICE kart is helping potential customers utilize new thinking about how businesses hold and connect.

Creating Events That Leave a Cultural Imprint

What separates Tier-2 cities and Tier-3 cities is the uniquely local traditions and hospitality they bring to meetings. Think about a conference running in October in Jaipur, a leadership Retreat running in February in Kochi, or an incentive trip in May in Varanasi. These events show great cost-effective options for businesses while providing greater experiential and emotional impact on participants. The realities of MICE Kart’s destinations offer businesses the chance to do more with less while supporting the participants’ sentimental connection to India’s cultural and moral fiber.

Planning with Purpose

MICE Kart also understands that sustainable event marketing is important. With an increased focus on responsible travel and eco-friendly standards, the MICE Kart team partners with local vendors and venues to ensure that every gathering utilizes conscious practices in execution and impact.

Looking Ahead: Small Cities, Big Potential

As organizations continue to look at deeper experience, better margins, and unique offerings, the potential of smaller cities in India has become more visible than ever. Future tourism and MICE experiences in India may not be in bigger cities but will be better – smarter choices, which usually begin where the brochure ends.
