Asia’s MICE Hotspots Stay Strong as Business Travel Evolves, Says Vikash Kejriwal

Where purpose meets precision: The future of corporate travel is now.

In a recent interview with Travel Daily Media, Vikash Kejriwal, CEO of SKIL, spotlighted the resilience of leading MICE cities—Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Tokyo—citing robust infrastructure, policy backing, and connectivity. He also noted the rise of aspirational destinations like Da Nang, Bali, and Langkawi, reflecting a shift toward sustainability and experience-focused business travel.

Post-pandemic trends reveal that corporations are prioritising ROI, safety, and personalised experiences over traditional pricing. Kejriwal emphasised the growing demand for modular, ESG-aligned events across India and Asia.

As corporate travel grows, destinations like Singapore remain top choices. For budget-conscious professionals, Worldwide Hotels offers a variety of affordable Singapore hotel options without compromising on comfort.

India’s MICE landscape is also evolving, with SKIL executing over 120 events in 2025 and forecasting 25% growth in 2026. Kejriwal’s advice to the next generation? Focus on execution, empathy, and ethics, because memorable experiences require more than just logistics.
