The effect of the economic crises on our lives will be visible or invisible depending on the development of various situations.
The MICE Industry should be ready for difficult times. During times of crisis, when corporate managements are facing collapse, it could be, for a period of time, difficult to hold meetings, incentives, congress and exhibitions. Sponsors might think twice about promises of support, advertisements might be thought unnecessary. However, this kind of mass hysteria is itself dangerous and hazardous to the economy and can deepen the crisis into recession. What should be done is to stay calm, be better friends with the neighbors and offer imaginative alternative tourism vacations to nearer destinations. An alternative and sustainable eco-friendly life-style is usually cheaper and more rewarding, especially when spending has to be carefully considered. Trekking to religious destinations, seeking butterflies and watching the routes of migrating birds, indulging in flower expeditions in the hills or valleys, sailing the worries away on a yacht with the family and friends could be much more rewarding in these difficult times. This sort of complete change of lifestyle can enable people to reassess and re-value their lives.
