MICE Events
Meetings, incentives, conferencing, events
Meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions, or Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events (MICE) is a type of tourism in which large groups, usually planned well in advance, are brought together for a particular purpose.
MICE tourism is known for its extensive planning and demanding clientele.
IAPCO (the International Association of Professional Congress Organizers) publishes a book called "Meetings Industry Terminology" which functions as a dictionary for the meetings industry. These are the definitions as put out by IAPCO:
● Meeting - general term indicating the coming together of a number of people in one place, to confer or carry out a particular activity. Frequency: can be on an ad hoc basis or according to a set pattern, as for instance annual general meetings, commitee meetings, etc.
● Incentive - meeting event as part of a programme which is offered to its participants to reward a previous performance.
● Conference - participatory meeting designed for discussion, fact-finding, problem solving and consultation. As compared with a congress, a conference is normally smaller in scale and more select in character - features which tend to facilitate the exchange of information. The term "conference" carries no special connotation as to frequency. Though not inherently limited in time, conferences are usually of limited duration with specific objectives.
● Events - organized manifestations that serve to display and present products and services.
Our full range of MICE services include:
● We offer a flexible Menu of Services for Meetings of all sizes for Corporations, Associations and Government Departments and work closely with these organisations to provide customized services for each Local, National or International event. Also we provide a large variety of places depending on the needs of our customers;

Ottoman Architecture in Skopje - Üsküp
Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, is a true example of tradition and infrastructure of mixed modern and Ottoman period. The left bank of the city gives you a feeling of walking through history. An old ottoman legend about how the city was build is still retold by the people from Skopje: In the newly conquered countries, the Ottomans had lot’s of troubles convincing the people from different religions that were speaking different languages to live together in peace and unity. In the end, one old dervish from Anatolia told them to look for the place where a big and old vessel was buried. In the vessel snake, frog and mouse were living together. The old vessel was buried on the bottom of a dried well. He also told them that if they find this place and above it they build a city, in that city the people from different religions that speak different languages will live together in harmony. After the vessel was found a new city was build around the old well. The city was called “US KUP” which on Turkish means “the old vessel”. That’s why even today in Turkish Skopje is called Uskup.
