Abstract

This study is an exploratory study on the sustainable management of MICE events, and was conducted using the FGI method. Twelve experts in the MICE field, industry, and academia were selected as the subjects of the study. The reason is that understanding and specialty of those targets provides research reliability and validity. The study period was 3 months from June to August 2021. As a result, it is very important to prepare a sustainable development strategy in the MICE industry, and in particular, the need for guidelines to be practiced during event operation from the organizer's point of view was derived. In addition, to derive items that can be used in practice based on the theoretical basis, and it was necessary to derive research results using internationally recognized Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and sustainable MICE research developed in the fields of tourism and MICE. Therefore, through the verification of such experts in the field of MICE, theoretical and practical guidelines from the perspective of the organizer that can be used when holding MICE were developed. The results of the study will provide implications for establishing more effective strategies for hosting sustainable MICE events in the future.

본 연구는 지속가능한 MICE행사 운영에 관한 탐색적 연구이며, FGI 방법으로 수행되었다. 연구대상은 MICE분야 업계, 학계 등 전문성을 가진 12명을 선정하였는데 본 연구의 경우 무엇보다 연구내용에 대한 전문성과 특수성이 연구의 신뢰도를 높이고 타당성을 확보하는 원천이기 때문이다. 연구기간은 2021년 6월~8월까지 3개월간 진행되었다. 연구의 결과, MICE산업에서 지속가능한 발전 전략을 마련하는 것은 매우 중요하며, 특히 주최자관점에서 행사 운영 시 실천해야할 가이드라인의 필요성이 도출되었다. 또한 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 실무에서 활용 가능한 항목 도출이 중요하며, 국제적으로 통용되는 지속가능한 발전목표(UNSDGs) 및 관광 및 MICE분야에서 개발되었던 지속가능한 MICE 연구를 활용한 연구 결과 도출이 요구되었다. 따라서 이와 같은 MICE분야 전문가들의 검증을 통해 MICE 개최 시 활용가능한 주최자관점에서의 이론적, 실무적 가이드라인이 개발되었다. 연구의 결과는 향후 지속가능한 MICE행사 개최에 있어 보다 효과적인 전략 수립을 위한 시사점을 제공할 것이다.
