| description | The paper focuses on the determinants of MICE tourism recovery post the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the case of
South Africa, empirical data were collected by way of in-depth interviews with 19 key stakeholders in the MICE sector. The
study findings reveal five key determinants of the recovery, (1) change in focus of geographical markets, (2) varied recovery of
the different economic industries, (3) limited airline access and connectivity, (4) destination image and (5) level of confidence of
MICE attendees to travel. The paper’s theoretical significance lies in its timely contribution to studies on MICE tourism recovery
and resilience, focusing on the developing nations' context. Further, the findings of the study, which delineate the recovery
process of MICE events post-COVID-19 provide insights into building a resilient MICE sector. |
