Seeing that the literature you are translating includes a liberal amount of acronyms, I would guess that this literature is not directed at average clients (travelers). It is probably part of a prospectus for seasoned travel-business investors who are expected to be familiar with these acronyms.

If this is so, I would think about including the English acronyms, beside their Arabic translations. These acronyms are probably well-known within this business sector, and they convey a well-established meaning to most experienced investors, regardless of their language background. Just a thought. . .

Explanation:
In this context, MICE stands for:

Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events

الاجتماعات والمشجعات والمؤتمرات والمناسبات
or

Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions

الاجتماعات والمشجعات والمؤتمرات والمعارض

Incentives may also be rendered as: مغريات أو حوافز .

As for MICE business, I would put it this way.

تجارة المحافل والاحتفالات

It\'s a good online acronym finder.
