Travelindex &#8211; with its new MICEdirectory &#8211; helps event planners and organizers to contact directly all those involved in organizing a successful event. The directory is well structured and organized into 17 targeted categories and over 60 sub-categories specific to MICE.<\/p>\n<p>All service providers are listed, but Travelindex members in particular are set to enjoy a higher contact and business conversion rate due to a more focused, purposeful audience; travel planners will be browsing through the website with the intention of securing the best venue for their next business meeting. This new directory is a significant addition to Travelindex\u2019s rapidly-expanding eco-system of travel verticals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTravelindex is affirming its presence in another major travel sector, Meeting Incentives Convention and Exhibition,\u201d said founder Bernard Metzger. \u201cMICEdirectory has already become a key resource for many MICE professionals and planners worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cOur Members offering MICE facilities and services will now gain instant, global exposure and visibility via MICEdirectory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MICE is on a significant upward curve as the value in staging business meetings and events has been recognized as a successful tool for promotion, motivation and marketing. These events, which can be used to stage important meetings, reward top performers or entertain clients, generate a buzz and are now seen as a strong financial investment.<br \/>\nTravelindex continues to foster new information technology to harness exponential growth in the online travel sector. As the founder, Metzger, explains, they will continue adding more options and increasing simplicity in corporate travel planning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working on integrating a RFP (Request for Proposal) facility,\u201d said Metzger. \u201cBy sending out a RFP, event planners will be able to complete, in a few clicks, that initial step of planning a successful business meeting or event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Travelindex:<\/strong><br \/>\nTravelindex Media specializes at the confluence between travel, media and technology.
