InterContinental adds local flavor to meetings deals

InterContinental Asiana Saigon has launched its global meeting program called IC Meetings targeting MICE delegates who want an insight into Vietnam as well as a luxury hotel to hold their meeting in.
Daniel Kipping, cluster director of sales and marketing at the hotel, told the Daily at the package launch on Friday that guests worldwide can access www.intercontinental.com to book packages with menu options for guests to explore the city during their business visit.
Kipping said InterContinental Asiana Saigon could tailor out-of-the-meeting-room activities for guests to see as much of Vietnam as possible.
The Insider Collection for example offers interactive off-site team-building activities, and the opportunity to contribute to the community and environment.
As part of the collection, Insider Location offers a glimpse of HCMC’s history as part of a day-long board meeting; for Insider Community the hotel has adopted four orphanages where participants can visit and are welcome to give their support; and Inside Speakers presents celebrities and experts who talk about culture, cooking and cuisine.
