According to the International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA) the majority of all meetings are still being held in Europe, although Asia and the Middle East are developing their infrastructure. Western Europe is traditionally one of the key locations in the Meetings, Conference and Exhibition industry (MICE), with other European destinations emerging as well. GBR Consulting has carried out studies for development of large scale Conference and Exhibition Centres in Greece and Cyprus.
