Observing the evolution of the MICE market in France for the 33rd year, Coach Omnium describes a fundamental trend in corporate events. This study, carried out among 310 companies in partnership with Groupe 1001 Salles and IDEAL Meetings &amp; Events, takes the pulse of a market that has been broadly declining since the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ainsi, dans un contexte marqu\u00e9 par des tensions autant \u00e9conomiques que politiques, 66 % des entreprises parlent d\u2019une baisse de leurs budgets \u00e9v\u00e9nementiels en 2025. Tout en anticipant une activit\u00e9 MICE globalement stable en 2026 (\u00e0 47%), contre 21% en baisse, mais aussi 17% en hausse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if companies allocate a smaller budget to their events, they continue to organise them. But in a different way, in shorter and more targeted formats, but also more festive. In this context, cocktails, company parties and after-work events interest more than 7 out of 10 companies, while incentive and team-building operations have seen a strong craze since COVID, organised by 59%% of companies last year, compared to only 17%% in 2019. Among the major incentive organisers are the banking\/insurance and media\/communication sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/end-of-year-festivities-teams-conviviality\/\" data-id=\"212479\">Also read: MICE: a convivial end to the year<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>Cr\u00e9er des \u00e9v\u00e8nements dont \u00ab on se souvient \u00bb, pour marquer les esprits et renforcer la coh\u00e9sion des \u00e9quipes : ces formats plus \u00e9v\u00e8nementiels semblent d\u00e9sormais ancr\u00e9s, en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 des \u00e9quipes aux relations distendues par le t\u00e9l\u00e9travail. Pour autant, les s\u00e9minaires et journ\u00e9es d\u2019\u00e9tudes restent le format le plus r\u00e9pandu, de tous temps, mais plus encore depuis la pand\u00e9mie. Alors que les s\u00e9minaires et journ\u00e9es d\u2019\u00e9tudes comptaient pour 74% des manifestations en 2019, ce chiffre a \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9 \u00e0 85 % l\u2019an dernier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans ce cadre, la dur\u00e9e des \u00e9v\u00e9nements a d\u2019ailleurs tendance \u00e0 augmenter. Si les manifestations de plus de 3 jours restent rares, hormis pour des s\u00e9jours \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, les r\u00e9unions de 2 \u00e0 3 jours ont tendance \u00e0 prendre le pas sur les journ\u00e9es d\u2019\u00e9tudes. Alors que les manifestions sur un seul jour sont cit\u00e9es par 51% des entreprises, les r\u00e9unions de deux jours recueillent 57 % des r\u00e9ponses, contre 25% en 2019. M\u00eame \u00e9volution pour les rencontres sur trois jours, pass\u00e9es de 10% avant la pand\u00e9mie \u00e0 21% l\u2019an dernier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coach Omnium study notes two paradoxical trends. On the one hand, companies, which have recently equipped themselves with meeting spaces, and even business centres within their own walls, are organising more and more internal events. A more economical solution cited by eight out of ten companies. On the other hand, they also want to allow their employees to \"change their environment\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, while hotels, four-star ones in particular, remain the preferred choice for 66%of companies, this very traditional solution continues to decline year on year, having been cited by 71%last year and 80%in 2011. Meanwhile, castles and historic residences, which only interested 20%of companies a decade ago, are popular today (58%), ahead of restaurants and bars (43% ), leisure or sports facilities (24% ), old hangars or workshops (19 % ) and finally boats and yachts (18 % ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In echo, the originality of the venue becomes a real selection criterion, concerning 56%of responses, compared to 34%in 2015, but which probably never exceeds point number one, location (89%), ahead of budget (83%) and venue capacity (77%). It is therefore not surprising that Ile-de-France is highly favoured in this context (79% ), ahead of the PACA region (27% ). As for MICE events abroad, only 22% of companies say they organised them last year, almost entirely in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/coach-omnium-mice-2025\/\" data-id=\"197459\">Also to read: MICE: caution in 2025 and a big return to 'fun' according to Coach Omnium<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>Should this be seen as a CSR aspect? One thing is certain, destinations accessible by train are gaining more and more votes, 86% in 2025 compared to 67% the previous year for travel in France and 46% compared to 10% in 2024 for destinations in Europe. More broadly, the integration of CSR criteria in the specifications of organisers is becoming increasingly common, alongside a preference for service providers who display a label or certification, particularly the ISO 20121 standard for event venues and the European Ecolabel or Green Key in the hotel industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, nearly 4 out of 10 companies say they have reduced their number of events for ecological reasons, compared to 24 % in 2024. However, isn't the financial aspect hiding behind environmental virtue? \" <em>One might think that the environmental objective is probably not the only driving force, in a context of budget restrictions.<\/em> , estimates Coach Omnium. For example, only 8 % of companies systematically conduct a carbon assessment of their events, most often using an internal measurement tool, but also solutions such as Climeet, Greenly and Cleo. But, as Nathalie Leduc of Groupe 1001 Salles points out, \" <em>Eco-responsibility is no longer a peripheral topic in MICE; it is now integrated into the discourse. The real challenge for 2026 will no longer be intention, but the ability to measure, structure and demonstrate the real impact of the actions taken.<\/em> \".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stable budgets in 2026 after a drop last year, more memorable and festive events: Coach Omnium takes the pulse of the MICE market in France for the 33rd time. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":220001,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101],"tags":[],"type-darticle":[52],"n_magazine":[],"class_list":["post-219991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meetings-et-evenements","type-darticle-breve","vapo-free"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Les tendances du march\u00e9 MICE d\u00e9crypt\u00e9es par Coach Omnium<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Des budgets en baisse en 2025 mais stables en 2026, avec des \u00e9v\u00e9nements plus marquants : Coach Omnium d\u00e9voile sa 33e \u00e9tude sur le march\u00e9 MICE.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/mice-coach-market-trends\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"MICE : Coach Omnium d\u00e9crypte les tendances\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Des budgets en baisse en 2025 mais stables en 2026, avec des \u00e9v\u00e9nements plus marquants : Coach Omnium d\u00e9voile sa 33e \u00e9tude sur le march\u00e9 MICE.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/mice-coach-market-trends\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Voyages d&#039;affaires\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-25T07:21:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-25T07:21:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/coach-omnium-2026.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"700\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Arnaud Deltenre\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Arnaud Deltenre\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/mice-coach-omnium-tendances\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/mice-coach-omnium-tendances\",\"name\":\"Les tendances du march\u00e9 MICE d\u00e9crypt\u00e9es par Coach Omnium\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/mice-coach-omnium-tendances#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/mice-coach-omnium-tendances#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/coach-omnium-2026.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-03-25T07:21:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-03-25T07:21:38+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/#\/schema\/person\/5c156f900a0e8a3db500e35c5be2647f\"},\"description\":\"Des budgets en baisse en 2025 mais stables en 2026, avec des \u00e9v\u00e9nements plus marquants : Coach Omnium d\u00e9voile sa 33e \u00e9tude sur le march\u00e9 MICE.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/mice-coach-omnium-tendances#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/mice-coach-omnium-tendances\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/mice-coach-omnium-tendances#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/coach-omnium-2026.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/coach-omnium-2026.jpg\",\"width\":700,\"height\":500,\"caption\":\"Des budgets en baisse en 2025 mais stables en 2026, avec des \u00e9v\u00e9nements plus marquants : Coach Omnium d\u00e9voile sa 33e \u00e9tude sur le march\u00e9 MICE.
