會展(MICE-Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions)產業是21世紀全球化風潮下最具潛力的新興產業，伴隨商務交流的頻繁、知識經濟的發展和觀光旅遊的普及，會展產業已受到世界各國的重視，各國均積極推動會展產業來帶動國家觀光發展並建立城市新形象魅力。因此，會展產業被公認為一衡量都市經濟與國際化的重要指標。亞太地區經濟快速發展，尤其是世界工廠中國大陸的崛起，促使亞洲成為全球會展產業成長最快速的地區，而台灣地處亞太地區的中心樞紐，以及國內雄厚的產業基礎的優勢下，要如何成為亞太地區的會展產業之龍頭也備受矚目。本研究將彙整國內外會展產業相關文獻，以文獻探討、資料蒐集與深度訪談的方式，並以SWOT為理論基礎，針對會展產業探討相關議題，以瞭解國內會展產業發展的趨勢與因應策略，並對未來台灣會展產業的發展趨勢提出相關建議。歸納文獻所述與分析：一、目前國內的會展產業仍屬於成長階段，但長期而言，將帶來乘數經濟效益；二、未來國內會展產業的發展趨勢，政府將著重於提升會展環境及設備、爭取台灣會展國際地位與開創會展新商機；三、企業及學校將更著重於會展人才的培育與認證。因此，建議政府單位除了積極建造優質會展環境之外，應強力輔助學校規劃完善的會展人才培育課程，並協助企業設立進階的人才認證標準，且與亞太地區其他國家建構出互助的合作網絡關係，促進會展產業的蓬勃發展。
