TCEB has been working hard towards establishing Thailand as a premier MICE destination and elevating top-of-mind status. In our recent survey conducted in 20 countries and regions, international exhibitors and business travellers chose Thailand their most preferred MICE destination in terms of hospitality, value, and an encompassing variety of activities to serve the international and domestic market. Bangkok was also chosen as the host city of choice for leading international association conferences and congresses, a significant milestone that further emphasises Thailand’s leading position. IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific, a leading MICE and Corporate Travel event organized in Bangkok for several consecutive years, definitely plays a part of that success. At this year’s show, Thailand’s pavilion grows by 60% this year, bringing together over 69 co- exhibitors representing the best of what Thailand has to offer to the world. Alongside the rapid growing MICE market in Thailand, the Thai hospitality has led the country to be chosen the Best Country for People by worldwide readers of a leading global travel magazine. So this year again, TCEB is pleased to provide buyers and media a taste of new experiences in Thailand to reinforce our MICE capabilities. Our pre-show Bangkok tours will have a hands- on programme when exploring Bang Krachao - the heaven of Bangkok’s green and
