Spotlight: A MICE Event at a Major International Terminal

It is notable that the venue is Tokyo International Cruise Terminal. Opened at the Port of Tokyo in 2020, the terminal not only accommodates large cruise ships but also functions as a unique venue equipped with meeting rooms and VIP rooms. Recently, MICE TIMES ONLINE covered the terminal at Busan Port, which includes a large-scale convention facility. As maritime gateways, such facilities host many events related to the marine sector. Further updates are expected to outline the full program of this dedicated cruise event, which is organized into an Industry Day and a Public Day.
