And it is great to know that world-class MICE options are plentiful not just in longhaul destinations, but in neighbouring Asia-Pacific countries as well. Over the past few years, budget concerns have led to planners increasing demand for new and exiting destinations that are just around the corner. In corporate travel terms, this would mean destinations just a few hours’ flight away, or even across the border. Pierre Quek This has boosted optimistic business sentiments among Asian destination Publisher and Head, Integrated Solutions players, leading them to invest in MICE infrastructure to lure a bigger share of the market. Changing attitudes about the aims and ethics of corporate travel have also led to destinations and venues offering more socially- conscious, authentic and eco-friendly experiences. The net result is that MICE groups get to exercise their corporate social responsibility, and destinations reap genuine benefits from the experience of hosting them. With all this in mind, MICE planners should find this year’s TTGmice Planner a valuable tool in their decision-making process. It offers a long list of hotels, convention centres, unique venues, PEOs/PCOs, DMCs and event support services to help you in your search for that perfect venue. You can also access this information online at https://planner.ttgmice.com which also includes some of the latest offers from MICE suppliers.

  • Business Etiquette, Language & Culture

    Business Etiquette, Language & Culture

    Business etiquette, language & culture Page 1 of 5 Business etiquette, language & culture Overview Khmer is the official language of Cambodia and is used by roughly 90% of the population. Due to the past colonial rule by France, a number of French words exist in the language. However, English is not widely understood, particularly amongst the older generation and in rural areas. Business cards should be translated into Cambodian and printed in English on one side and Cambodian on the other. Use the services of a professional translator (rather than translating online) – a list of translators and interpreters has been prepared by the British Embassy Phnom Penh for the convenience of British Nationals who may require these services and assistance in Cambodia, at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cambodia-list-of-translators-and- interpreters. As in China, business cards should be given and received with both hands and studied carefully. This is particularly important when dealing with Cambodia’s ethnic Chinese minority, many of whom hold influential positions in the country’s business community. The Cambodian culture is conservative and hierarchical, and Theravada Buddhism is practiced by 95% of the population. Followers adhere to the concept of collectivism – the idea that the family, neighbourhood and society is more important than the wishes of the individual – and as in many Asian cultures the sense of ‘face’ is also considered paramount. Consequently you should avoid causing public embarrassment, not lose your temper in public and strive to maintain a sense of harmony. As a sign of respect for western customs, handshakes are the norm between men, but it is not uncommon to greet women with the “Sampeah” – the placing of palms together in a prayer-like position at chest level, with a slight bow of the head.

    People in Cambodia Gets Very Excited in November Because It Is a Festival Season

    The story of how God establish His School in Cambodia 13 (2015.10.20) People in Cambodia gets very excited in November because it is a festival season. There is a festival called Bon Om Touk in November which can be translated as ‘Water Festival’. The festival is to commemorate the victory in the 12th century of the Angkorian era. Cambodians think this had achieved peace and prosperity. The King, Preah Bath Jayavarman VII, (regarded as one of the greatest kings) led the victory in a naval war against the neighboring Chams (Vietnam). In this festival season, teams of competitors prepare to race in Water Festival boat races on the Tonle Sap river (part of the Mekong river) in Phnom Penh. There are fire works at night as well. It is a great time of festival with lots of fun. When there are festivals, we wonder whether there will be a time when the people in Cambodia will be joyful because of God. In the villages, most of the people do not know what Christmas is, which means they do not know who Jesus is and why he came to the Earth. For His International Services the first and foremost purpose of His School project is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. We are also committed to provide quality education, knowing too that Cambodia needs the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray that the nation of Cambodia will one day be excited because of the gospel of Jesus Christ 1. Bon Om Touk (Water Festival) in November is a 3-day public holiday.

  • Hong Kong's Pride

    Hong Kong's Pride

    Primary 5 Primary 5 Theme 2 Theme 2 Unit 1 Unit 1 Theme 2 Unit (1) Hong Kong’s Pride In this unit, Ling Ling’s family took grandmother and uncle to visit Cheung Chau. This allows students to understand that Hong Kong on its own makes policies on sports and understand Hong Kong’s development and achievements in sports. The unit points out that under the principle of “one country, two systems”, Hong Kong athletes may join international sports events using the name, “Hong Kong, China”. The key learning points are as follows: Learning Activity 1: Salute to the Athletes ✧ Students know that the Basic Law allows Hong Kong athletes to join international sports events under the name “Hong Kong, China”. ✧ Students cultivate the sporting spirit of “never give up” through the stories of hard-working and outstanding Hong Kong athletes. ✧ Students appreciate the athletes who work hard for the glory of the State and Hong Kong. Learning Activity 2: Who is in Charge of Policies on Sports? ✧ Students know that the Basic Law allows the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to make policies on sports on its own. ✧ Students understand that the Basic Law ensures that the non-government sports associations may continue to develop in Hong Kong. ✧ Students can recognize the duties of the relevant government departments and non- government organizations for sports development.
