Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) in partnership with Thailand Incentive and Convention Association (TICA) is leading 20 Thai exhibitors to present their best offer at the annual IT&CMA and CTW 2021 event. The exhibitors are all from the destinations having been opened or set to open soon, while it is the first time that representatives of all 10 Thai MICE cities, led by TCEB’s 4 regional offices, will be present to showcase their appeal and unique products. It is Thailand’s widest choice of destinations ever offered at IT&CMA and CTW, which will underpin TCEB’s campaign “Thailand: Redefine Your Business Events - Experience the Extraordinary” The 20 exhibitors are 15 hotels, one convention center and four destination management companies from Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket and Khao Lak. The 10 MICE cities comprise, apart from Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket and Khon Kaen, new-comers like Nakhon Ratchasima, Udon Thani, Songkhla, Surat Thani and Phitsanulok.
The destinations represented this year are significant for they are the strongest signal yet of the re-opening of Thailand for international travel. Phuket re-opened in July under a “Phuket Sandbox” framework, while Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phetchaburi, Prachuab Kirikhan (including Hua Hin), and Chonburi (including Pattaya) are set, according the government’s plan, to follow suit in weeks to come. This means full vaccinated travellers from overseas should soon be able to enter Thailand via any of these gateway cities. Details of the plan are expected very soon. TCEB has currently five key support schemes for MICE and the two – “SMILE” and “Convene Plus – will be highlighted at IT&CMA. “SMILE” offers support in cash and kind for corporate and incentive groups holding their events in Thailand anytime until September 30, 2022. SMILE is short for Safe Meeting and Incentive Localised Experience. “Convene Plus” will support conventions that demonstrate a strong social, economic or environmental impact, apply hybrid or online technologies, or work with local suppliers. TCEB welcomes enquiries on its other four campaigns as well – “Re-Energizing Exhibitions” for exhibitions, “Festival Economy” for festivals and mega events, “MICE Winnovation” for MICE-specific innovation development and application. Visit TCEB Virtual Booth at IT&CMA, taking place from 28-30 September, and 'experience the extraordinary' that will redefine your business events in Thailand. Comments are closed.
