DENPASAR, BALINEWSID.COM – The Bali Convention & Exhibition Bureau (BaliCEB) continues to reinforce Bali’s position as a leading Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) destination in the Asia-Pacific region through its participation in the Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) 2026, held in Melbourne, Australia, from February 9–11, 2026.

BaliCEB’s participation in the international MICE exhibition marks a strategic move to expand partnership networks while increasing Bali’s exposure in the Australian and broader Asia-Pacific markets. AIME is recognized as one of the largest MICE industry trade shows in the region, bringing together industry players and international buyers.

BaliCEB representative Ketut Jaman stated that the strong interest from corporate meeting and incentive travel organizers from countries such as Australia, Singapore, China, India, Malaysia, and Thailand reflects a positive trend. Bali consistently ranks among the top priority destinations for international clients.

During the event, BaliCEB conducted presentations and business meetings with event planners, professional conference organizers (PCOs), incentive houses, and corporate buyers. Discussions covered infrastructure readiness and regulatory frameworks for hosting international events, including licensing procedures, visa policies, customs regulations, security systems, and accessibility through I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Bali also showcased its comprehensive MICE facilities, including internationally standardized meeting venues and convention centers, star-rated hotel accommodations, professional audiovisual services, integrated transportation systems, and authentic cultural experiences that add value to the destination.

This participation was further utilized to strengthen strategic networks and identify emerging trends and market demands within the Asia-Pacific MICE sector. Through integrated promotion and cross-sector collaboration, BaliCEB remains optimistic that Bali’s MICE industry will continue to grow sustainably and contribute significantly to the regional economy.

On the sidelines of the event, the BaliCEB delegation visited the Wonderful Indonesia Pavilion and received support from the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Melbourne. The synergy between government and industry stakeholders is considered a key factor in strengthening promotional efforts and enhancing Bali’s competitiveness as a world-class MICE destination.
