Chinese Mice AnalysisEssay Preview: Chinese Mice AnalysisReport this essayINTRODUCTIONWith its booming economy and ever-growing market, China is expected to become the most popular MICE destination worldwide in the future. China possesses the attractive combination of rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and one of the worlds fastest growing economies. Most renown international hotel chains have set up facilities in the major MICE destinations Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, as well as in less-known locations, such as Xian, Guilin, and even the tropical island Hainan in the south of China. The country has the additional advantage of world-class service at relatively inexpensive rates. As the host of big international events like the Beijing Olympics Games 2008 and the Shanghai World Expo 2010, China is home to a wealth of new opportunities.
Sciences China and Sustainability China’s global goal to develop a world-class, sustainable, and environmentally-controlled economic development pathway is to reduce CO2 emissions. Unfortunately, a wide range of issues threaten this goal and can make it unsustainable. On this page we will look at the key issues that impact China, especially with regards to Sustainability. In order to discuss these issues, however, we recommend to examine each of the key issues mentioned above, and then discuss the possible alternative solutions. With regard to a possible alternative solution, consider a situation in which an alternative energy source has never been tried before because it is so expensive, has no current environmental effect, and is not economically viable. For this, some alternative measures, such as natural gas (NG), might be feasible. However, in order to do so, the cost of building a nuclear reactor in China would need to be considered in the long run; and other costs might be considered in the long run. On the other hand, the environmental benefits of using an alternative energy source are a significant challenge, because the economic benefits of relying solely on coal to generate electricity are likely to remain considerable for some time to come. Moreover, there is a need to continue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure that renewable and other non-polluting electricity sources are properly maintained. As one example, while an alternative energy source can be produced in China, such a potential solution must be considered only against a wide variety of scenarios in which its costs to operate and energy conversion to produce electricity are large enough so that no cost or environmental effects would occur. Another consideration that would make building a nuclear power station feasible is the prospect of building a major power station. It is possible to build a large power station at less than 10,000 m (2,000 ft) at the earliest, but it is also possible that a large and complex site for building additional nuclear plants to support a large reactor would require a significant amount of building or investment. In order to do so, the cost of building such a large power station needs to be considered. The present review considers the question of whether an alternative energy source would be possible which would include, for example, a large number of existing or potential power generation or storage terminals. The present discussion also uses a number of scenarios that use different approaches than the present one. Specifically, we suggest that the cost of building multiple nuclear power plants in China under various scenarios (for example, at a cost of 200-500 MCHs), and for constructing each of these units, should ideally be considered in order to maximize the amount of total cost. We also consider the problem of building a nuclear power station on a high-energy spectrum and include a potential use of coal-fired power-line power for generating or storing hydrogen and thorium, and in large part for building the reactor itself, either directly or by using conventional nuclear power stations. For the purposes of future review, we recommend to consider the economic implications of the issue in the context of the present situation. In contrast to other possible alternatives, the present review considers the issue of building each of the following conventional power plants. Because they would provide a large and complex energy-producing system as well as large utility demand. Also, because they would generate considerable economic potential from other sources, such as small-scale wind. We review one of the main sources of energy from the large high-megawatt-hour power plants in China:

BACKGROUNDGeographic LocationChina is located in eastern Asia. Today it occupies approximately 9.6 million square kilometers (3.7 million square miles), or nearly one quarter of Asias land, making it almost as large as the whole of Europe.
Economy ConditionsChina has the worlds fourth largest economy and second largest purchasing power parity. GDP has risen from RMB362.4 billion in 1978, at the start of the market-based reform period, to RMB24,661.9 billion in 2007 (both figures at current prices). Chinas per capita GDP, though reaching the record high of 1,000 US dollars last year, still ranks around the 100th place in the world till 2007. However, it is predicted that China will quadruple its 2000 GDP to 4 trillion US dollars, with a per capita GDP of 3,000 dollars by the year 2020.
Source: Chinability (2005)China also plays a major role in international trade. The country is the worlds largest consumer of steel and concrete, using, respectively, a third and over a half of the worlds supply of each. It is also the worlds second largest importer of petroleum. Counting all products, China is the third largest importer and the second largest exporter in the world.
Social and Cultural BackgroundsThe Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex civilizations covering a history of over 5,000 years. The nation covers a large geographical region with customs and traditions varying greatly between towns, cities and provinces.
China encompasses harmonious ecological environment, historical and cultural resources and public environmental, and all these factors contribute to form the social and cultural basis for the MICE industry. Most big cities in China have a comprehensive public facilities, a variety of entertainment options, good social order and high-quality citizens and a unique culture, all those reflect the degree of internationalization and civilization of the country.
Development of Chinas MICE IndustryWorld Travel & Tourism Council predicts that Chinas travel and tourism industry will grow around 8.7 percent per annum in the ten years from 2007 to 2016. This means that in 2016, China will be the second largest travel and tourism economy in the world.
With the rise of Chinas tourism industry, the MICE industry also develops rapidly. The economic globalization appears to be one of the propellants for the development of its MICE industry. Chinas becoming a “world factory” speeds up the development of MICE industry and relevant service industry. MICE industry has been developing rapidly in the booming coastal areas.
Moreover, international companies accelerate development in Chinese MICE Market. Recently, famous international companies Deutsche Messe AG and Fiera Milano have announced that they have signed a cooperative agreement to develop in the four large emerging MICE markets of China, India, Russia, and Brazil. Of these China will be their prime market. Through this kind of joint ventures, they can bring more mature MICE management systems of developed markets to China.
SWOT ANALYSISInternal Analysis (S/W)StrengthsPublished data indicates that Chinese MICE sector is growing by annually 20% and China has held 5,400 exhibitions and conferences of a certain scale in 2007. And in 2007, total area for exhibitions or conferences in China reached 2.4 million square meters, ranking third in the world. In terms of the number of projects, China ranks the second in the world behind the United States. As a new appealing international MICE destination, China has the following strengths:
NoveltyTraditionally, the business people in west Europe hold the conferences in Paris, London, Dublin and other European cities. The rotation takes place as well, but actually always inside this small circle. Comparing to these old places, China is a totally new destination for western Europeans. There are different culture, different scenery, and different environment. A new place is good for people to think in a different way and come up with creative ideas. Moreover, China is now drawing the worlds interests for its attracting culture, various kinds of beautiful sightseeing places.
