1. Authentic and delicious Dim Sum
This is the city that does dim sum best. Brunch may be everyone’s new favourite obsession, but dim sum elevates the brunch experience to the next level. Pan-fried rice rolls, juicy dumplings and fluffy steamed buns stuffed with vegetables, chicken or char siu severed with an array of condiments is just the way to start off any day.
2. World Highest Bar
Hong Kong may be famous for having one of the most energetic nightlife scenes in the world – the party never stops. But when it isn’t raining, there’s nothing better than taking in a breath-taking view of Hong Kong Island’s skyline. Up on 118th floor 1,608 ft above sea level is Ritz Carlton’s Ozone Bar.
3. Cruising on a Junk
Everything is centered around the flashing city lights and there’s no better place to see them than on a boat.  Taking a trip down Victoria Harbor on an iconic red-sailed Chinese junk, Aqua Luna is a luxurious way of bar hopping from one rooftop bar to the next.
4. Tranquil gateways
Escape from the crowds and enter the cultural spots throughout the city. Although Hong Kong is known for its diverse population, the Buddhist hubs are the most peaceful in the city.  Chi Lin Nunnery is one of the most beautiful places with lotus ponds, bonsai tea plants and traditional architecture from the Tang Dynasty.
5. Street arts
One of the newer features in the thriving art scene is street art in Sheung Wan. Creative and whimsical street art takes you from Shoreditch to side streets in Hong Kong. All over the city there are walls, shutters and entire buildings, where portraiture and abstract shapes come to life.

Australia’s iconic wildlife is definitely unique and mind-blowing. Kangaroos, Koalas, wombats, cockatoos, and kookaburras are some of the creatures you will see wandering around in their natural habitats.

TIMELINE
- 8 Days Incentive trip

# data[].attributes.body
a) Demographic: Focusing on the demographic aspect for the target market of our incentive trip, we have decided that the guests would be aged between 25 - 50. As the company we are working with is quite diverse, we have targeted on an age group of both Gen Y & Gen Z. Although both age groups are different, after doing some research we have come to the conclusion that these two generations would have similar mindsets and would have similar business ideas and perspectives. As we have worked with other business companies before for other age groups that are older than the currently focused demographics, we are delighted to provide a worthwhile incentive trip for this group of 80 people.

b) Psychographic: Our project is targeted on the insurance company AXA, therefore the guests targeted for our incentive trip is mainly people who are from the upper class. Paris, France is one of the most luxurious countries in the world, and a lot of well-known businessmen and companies tend to visit the country for their business purposes. The labor force of the AXA insurance company are never overlooked or looked down on by the Malaysian community as they are significant people that hold good images in the public’s eyes. Therefore, we have decided that the massive French economy would be a great place for the members of AXA to venture out and get their company ideas on a brainstorming process. Additionally, the French lifestyle would be a lifestyle that could be of mutual interest to the members of the company as even though the insurance companies have laid back policies, there are endless possibilities of moving forward.

c) Geographic: AXA Insurance Company is originally a French company based in Malaysia. The target market we have aimed for will consist of people of Malaysian nationality on the majority side. Additionally, there will be some other nationalities such as India, Singapore, Indonesia, and more. As France is the origin of the company, some of the high authority members such as leaders would be from France. As mentioned before, we are expecting the geographic estimates to be rigid, but diverse at the same time as the event we are hosting is definitely something that could be more enjoyable by a more contrasting target market.

# data[].attributes.body
TRANSPORT

The total length of the trip is 7 nights + 08 days and we have decided that the final date would from 13th September - 20th September 2020.

Flight option 1 that we have chosen is Etihad Airways. The flight which will depart to France from Kuala Lumpur is Etihad Airways 711 and will consist of a layover in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The travel date would be on 13th September, and the return date would be on 20th September from Etihad Airways which also consists of a layover at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The price for this flight option is RM 2,369 from cheapflights.com.my.

Flight option 2 that we have chosen is Emirates. The flight takes off from Kuala Lumpur on 13th September and takes a stopover at Dubai. The return flight back to Kuala Lumpur would also consist of a stopover at Dubai. The option costs RM 2,620 from skyscanner.com.my

What is DMC?
~Base on the video DMC stands for Destination Management Company. It is a company that provides services, resources and expertise specializing in local knowledge for events, activities, and tours for other companies. These services can include transportation, gala dinners, planning activities and excursions, restaurants, conference venues, local laws, hotel accommodation, meetings, and logistics. Destination management companies are used by businesses and other establishments to plan events and activities where the establishment is not located and has no local knowledge.

ii)Differences between DMO, DMC and CVB

Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs)
~Essentially, the terms CVB and DMO are interchangeable. Referred to as CVBs for many decades, destination marketing organizations began identifying themselves as DMOs in an effort to convey a less bureaucratic connotation to the traveling public.

Destination Management Companies (DMCs)
~DMCs provide their services to the customer for a fee and is a term for a professional services company possessing extensive local knowledge, expertise and resources, specializing in the design and implementation of events, activities, tours, transportation and program logistics.

Convention & Visitors Bureaus (CVBs)
~A convention and visitor bureau (CVB) is a local tourism marketing organization that specializes in developing convention, meeting and group business as well as leisure travel to a city, county or region.

DMC is a destination management company that is a professional services company with local knowledge, expertise and resources, working in the design and implementation of events, activities, tours, transportation and program logistics.

2) DIFFERENCE
DMO or Destination Marketing Organization is a not-for-profit organization that represents a specific destination. DMO is responsible for promoting the destination with the intent of booking meeting and event business, which helps boost the local economy. While DMC work cooperatively with DMO’s, hotels, resorts, convention centers and venues. They will often work with a DMO during site inspections in order to showcase the best of the destination and provide an overall experience for the client with the intent of booking the business.The CVB is essentially responsible for promoting a destination with the intent of increasing travel to the area, both business and leisure. Ideally, the CVB will bring group business, meetings, conventions and trade-shows to the destination.

What is DMC?
1.A destination management company is a professional services company with local knowledge, expertise and resources, working in the design and implementation of events, activities, tours, transportation and program logistics. There are very few destination management organizations.

2. Differences
CVB’s, or Convention & Visitor Bureaus are non profit organizations, and they are the quintessential source of information on hotels, attractions and service providers in their area.  Their services are typically free to meeting planners, and their mission is to promote their destination and book meetings/events to stimulate their economy.

DMO’s (Destination Marketing Organizations) are essentially the same as CVB’s but identify themselves differently in order to be more descriptive and to bring action to their community.  For example, “Visit Denver” or “Meet Minneapolis”.

DMC (Destination Management Company) is a term for a professional services company possessing extensive local knowledge, expertise and resources, specializing in the design and implementation of events, activities, tours, transportation and program logistics.  DMC’s are hired to “manage” your destination and event, inclusive of transportation and activities.

3.Two other DMC website

-The second link is more to a worldwide tour, they provide a lot of tour packages for different countries.

-Both has written their services that they provide in details, making it easy for people to read and understand what it is that the company provides to them during the tour.

In October 2018, the world conference on VR Industry was held in Nanchang, east China’s Jiang xi province.

2.QR codes are excellent add-ons to conferences. You can put them on fliers or websites advertising the event, and allow people to scan them with their phone and instantly be on the conference site. Another awesome way to use technology is to host a TweetUp before or following the event. Tweetups (public receptions) allow speakers to interact with attendees, people to discuss what interested them, and can even attract the attention of others for subsequent days of the conference.

1)DMCs are professional management company specializing in the design and implementation of events, utilizing extensive local knowledge and resources
DMCs work cooperatively with airlines, hotels, resorts, convention centers, and transportation companies. They also refer to the entire activities and services for a client as a “program.” DMCs are also an important element in incentive travel. They usually offer, but is not limited to, guest tours, VIP amenities, transportation, staffing, entertainment, décor, on-site registration, and housing.

2) First and foremost, going green actually helps the organization to do their CSR (corporate social responsibility) program because protecting the planet is also a responsibility of global villager. Hence, it will definitely enhance their brand image as they will be acknowledge as a environmental caring organization. Next, the organization can differentiate them with the others that who didn't really care about the surroundings due to their concern of the environmental issues.

3) Capturing the economic benefits of tourism while limiting undesirable environmental consequences is the ultimate goal of a successful green strategy. The experiences of private- and public-sector organizations in many locales suggest that the most powerful strategies are those that take a holistic approach. These businesses treat each destination they oversee as a complete physical, cultural, and economic ecosystem. By crafting a sustainable tourism strategy through a multifaceted lens, policymakers and leaders in the tourism sector can ensure that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and at the same time make sure that no part of the system is neglected.
Building a comprehensive blueprint for sustainability begins with addressing four key environmental issues: reducing carbon emissions, conserving biodiversity, managing waste properly, and protecting and conserving water. The blueprint, however, also requires an analysis of the underlying systems and structures that a destination must have in place to enable change. These include regulations and governance, stakeholder participation, funding and financing, capacity building and education, and marketing and public relations. Once these environmental issues and enabling systems and structures are understood, policymakers and tourism leaders can develop a green strategy for their destination.
Any destination that aspires to succeed in the age of green tourism and to ensure its sustainability should focus on the above-mentioned four key issues:
a) Biodiversity conservation. Whether scuba diving in the Red Sea, exploring hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest, or venturing into the jungles of Central America, a growing number of travelers are reaching out to experience a world beyond their own. Destinations with natural beauty offer tourists an escape from the pressures and sensory overload of urban life. Unique natural assets are therefore precious, and their preservation is a critical component of sustainable tourism. In the past two decades, tourism to biodiversity hot spots has increased more than 100 percent, making conservation all the more urgent.
b) Waste management. As a major pollutant, waste affects both water and soil quality and can detract from a destination’s image if treated improperly. The effective management of liquid and solid waste — from households and any local industrial processes — is therefore essential to the perception of a destination as clean and healthy. No traveler wants to worry about contracting a disease on his or her journey; a whiff of foul air can quickly change a tourist’s perception of even the most beautiful locale.
c) Water supply protection. An adequate and healthy water supply is crucial to any destination’s long-term environmental sustainability. Severe water shortages continue to plague many parts of the world, and two major external trends — rising populations and the potential effects of climate change — provide added reasons for concern about this scarce resource. Countries with water shortages that rely heavily on tourism face a double burden: Their citizens desperately need the water that keeps hotel swimming pools — and, by extension, the national treasury — full. A smart, conservative policy to guarantee water availability is key to keeping both pools and coffers full and both tourists and citizens satisfied.

What is the role of DMC in promoting a destination??

A destination management company is a professional management company specializing in the design and delivery of tours, events, local transportation and other diﬀerent activities based on local knowledge and expertise. This type of company is locally- based and uses local resources to provide products and services and satisfy interests and needs of individual clients and groups within a specific city, region or a country. Its local knowledge and experience allows designing products for clients such as: outgoing travel agencies and tour operators, meeting planners and other event organizers, as well as for independent travellers at the destination .

How can a DMC promote green practices at a destination?

1. Research and Use Eco-Friendly Services in the Area
2. Go Green at Your Hotel - The chance to go green starts with your hotel. Ask cleaner not to change your sheets and towels every day. Similarly, turn off air conditioners, heaters, and other electronic gadgets when you go out. Better still, stay in hotels that have recycling programs in place and abide by their guidelines.
3. Challenge to themselve to Step Outside their Comfort Zone
- Walk around, even if only in the streets closest to your hotel.
- Eat in local restaurants.

How does green practices help a destination to be different than other destination?

1. Carbon emission reduction.
Destinations can reduce their environmental impact by integrating carbon-friendly principles into their supply chains, and purchasing sustainably sourced goods and materials. In addition, they can implement low-carbon waste management policies, including energy-efficient recycling.
2. Biodiversity conservation.
Destinations with natural beauty offer tourists an escape from the pressures and sensory overload of urban life. Unique natural assets are therefore precious, and their preservation is a critical component of sustainable tourism. In the past two decades, tourism to biodiversity hot spots has increased more than 100 percent, making conservation all the more urgent.
3. Waste management.
Destinations must therefore invest in waste management early: following best practices by reducing sewage and industrial waste streams, minimizing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators, and recycling whenever possible. Ideally, waste should be used to generate energy. Cutting-edge methods such as waste-to-energy conversion can enhance a destination’s reputation in the green playing field and attract potential investors in addition to bolstering environmental sustainability.

SECONDARY DESTINATIONS:

As secondary destinations are becoming more popular, events can take place in destinations which were not so popular before as this could be a great way to promote the destination and also as the costs would be cheaper than the high ranked countries

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES:

Events such as concerts can include unique experience to stimulate the overall experience that the attendees have. Example, they can create a neon glow in the dark concert where the venue is dark and everyone will glow if they all dress up in white or neon colors

1. DMC helps to increase the marketing of a destination by creating platforms that more people will have the chance to access in order to gain more information about a destination. Moreover

2. DMCs can promote green practices in destinations by practicing sustainable goals. For example they can make sure that they implement zero waste policies in the F&B industry of a destination

3. Nowadays more people are becoming aware of the consequences of not being environment friendly. Our future generations will truly suffer if we do not become green. Therefore, people who want to travel to other countries want to make sure that the country has green practices and it really helps to make the destination more different from countries that are not green. For example, it is more likely that a tourist would visit a country that has solar panels in their accommodation rather than a country that has regular costly electricity in their accommodations.

-Able to demonstrate the project in a flexible output during a live meeting show, as per based on the second video, you are able to "touch" the holograms, resize it, rotate it however you wish. Thus, this would be a great opportunity for business relating to architectural work. With HoloLens 2 AR Headset, the individual is able to portray or demonstrate conferences that includes diagrams, or even instances of pin up dynamic contents on virtual walls, or concept arts, videos etc.

-Enhances the experience. Meetings currently are far more modern with the use of internet, technology, powerpoints compared to the 90's. However, this is nothing compared to Virtual Reality. The individual is able to experience different perspectives and outlooks of the project. Presenters are able to create virtual-like diagrams, objects to be portrayed at a 360 degree look as long as they are wearing the VR headset. To make the conference far more intimate and cooperative in terms of client and project-wise.
