 Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has launched 
			  MaxiMICE, a rewards initiative that gives meeting organisers a 
			  credit towards their next meeting. Until 31 December 2009, MICE organisers who 
			  confirm a meeting group will enjoy a 10% credit, which they can 
			  use for their next meeting at any of the 62 Shangri-La hotels and 
			  resorts worldwide. Organisers can enjoy a maximum credit of 
			  US$5,000 for any bookings with a minimum of only 10 rooms plus 
			  meeting facilities. “At Shangri-La, we understand the budget 
			  pressures that busy event organisers face, needing to maximise 
			  their returns without compromising the standard of excellence in 
			  delivering successful events. Our event customers tell us that 
			  Shangri-La’s exceptional meeting experience means they want to 
			  come back, and we seek to develop long term business partnerships 
			  with organisers,” said Kent Zhu, group director of sales and 
			  marketing, “therefore we are rewarding repeat events with budget 
			  stretching incentives.”
