Last stands on sale for PAICE 2010
The Pacific Area Incentives and Conferences Expo (PAICE 2010) is again set to sell out, with only 18 stands still available two months out from the expo.
Exhibition manager Tess Mason says many of the major destinational stands, such as Cook Islands, New Caledonia and Fiji are now starting to take shape. The uptake from Australia has been particularly strong, with Queensland and Victoria again leading the way.
‘Another pleasing aspect is that we have some great new exhibitors – including Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau, Hong Kong Tourism Board, Cathay Pacific and Business Events Tasmania.’
PAICE 2010 is being held on September 15 on Level 5 of SKYCITY Auckland Convention Centre.
Mason says that every year PAICE has been held it has sold out, and this year will be no exception.
‘Our advice to anyone intending to exhibit at PAICE 2010 is to be in touch quickly to avoid disappointment,’ she adds.
Meantime, early registrations from buyers are also tracking well. A number of leading conference and incentive organisers from outside Auckland have already applied to be hosted buyers, and local registrations are building steadily.

Tasmania picks up PAICE
Tasmania will be exhibiting at the Pacific Area Incentives and Conferences Expo (PAICE) for the first time in 2010. PAICE traditionally attracts a large number of exhibitors from across the Tasman and this latest development reflects Tasmania’s growing emphasis on the business events sector.
The Tasmanian Visitor Survey (TVS) has recorded an increase of 24% in visitors attending business related events in Tasmania.
The Tasmanian Convention Bureau marketing manager Claire McLaren says PAICE is a perfect fit for the state. ‘Tasmania is well known as a destination for association conferences and feedback from New Zealand based clients has been exceptional. It is clear that Tasmania is becoming a destination of choice for the New Zealand market.’
