亲爱的读者们，大家好！

　　在过去的这个季度，全球的气温都高于往年。如同气温一样，中国MICE市场也逐年升温。在4月17日法兰克福举办的IMEX展览上，MICE China 杂志的亮相受到全球业者的关注，不断有海外CVB（会议局），PCO(专业会议组织者)，DMC(目的地管理公司)前来展台询问中国MICE市场的情况。

　　随着澳大利亚旅游局持续不懈地推广活动，澳大利亚已成为中国企业最热门的奖励旅游目的地，2006年有308,000名中国游客访澳。3月澳大利亚联盟（Team Australia）在上海举办了第九届TABEE（澳大利亚商务旅游交流会），来自于亚洲的120多名企业、媒体、业者代表齐聚上海。

　　国内MICE市场在经济持续发展的带动下，也不断地扩大。酒店业成为增长的MICE活动最直接的受益者，在本期我们特别推出了“北京酒店会议设施专辑”，介绍了北京近40家酒店的会议设施，以帮助活动组织者更容易地选择会议场所。

　　从6月1日起，我们将搬至朝阳区东三环北路8号亮马河大厦公寓652室，电话（8610）65900801，传真（8610）65900181，感谢大家对MICE China一直以来的关注和支持，欢迎继续跟我们保持联系。

　　Dear readers, In the quarter which has just gone, we have experienced a relatively warmer weather, just as what happened to China’s MICE market, with ever-growing worldwide attention on it. MICE China successfully makes its debut at IMEX 2007 Frankfurt (April 17th-19th), and many overseas CVBs, PCOs, DMCs and other MICE players were attracted to the booth for more details of China’s MICE market.

　　It’s noticed that Tourism Australia has been making great efforts to promote Australia in China; as a result, Australia has been the hottest incentive destination for Chinese enterprises. In 2006, Australia greeted 308,000 Chinese tourists. In March, Team Australia held the 9th TABEE in Shanghai, with a big get-together of 120 representatives from corporate clients, media and travel agents.

　　Stimulated by the fast developing economy, domestic MICE market has grown greatly in terms of scale and speed, and hotels are the largest beneficiary of expanding MICE events. In this issue, we specially launch a Supplement of Beijing Hotels Meeting Facilities to introduce about 40 hotels with first-class meetings facilities, facilitating event organizers and planners to better choose venues for meetings and other events.

　　Since June 1st, 2007, we will move our office to Room 652, Apartment, Beijing Landmark Towers, 8 Dongsanhuan Beilu, Chaoyang District, Beijing, (100004). Many thanks for your kind attention and support to MICE China all the time, and you are welcome to keep in close touch with us. Tel: (8610) 65900801 Fax: (8610) 65900181
