If you are looking for an event venue for conferences, company trips or corporate events, Ho Tram is one of the options worth considering.
I. What activities does the MICE tourism model in Ho Tram include?
MICE is not only about organizing conferences or seminars, but also a model that combines work, team connection and leisure within the same journey. Thanks to the advantage of being only around 2–2.5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City, along with a system of large-scale resorts and event centers, Ho Tram is becoming a destination chosen by many businesses for MICE programs lasting from one to several days.
Depending on the objectives of each business, the program can combine several of the following activities to provide a complete experience for attendees.

This is the core activity of most corporate events organized under the MICE model. Businesses can organize customer conferences, thematic seminars, conferences, meetings, workshops, product launches or internal training sessions within meeting rooms equipped with complete sound, lighting, LED screens and presentation equipment.
Choosing a venue with flexible spaces allows businesses to easily adjust the scale of the program, from small meetings to corporate events with hundreds or thousands of attendees.
