PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TICA ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Dear TICA members, congratulations for having made it through 2020. Needless to say, this was the most challenging year for all of us, but we’ve managed to do as much as we could as an association. Even though there were limitations on activities, we participated in the virtual trade show in July and we’ve also organised fam trips and virtual trainings. In addition, TCEB kindly organised several activities using hybrid platforms, and we’ve done two-bid agent training sessions, as well as a few other hy- brid meetings that were benefi cial for helping us cope with business in the virtual world. We’ve waived our membership fee for 2020, and we’ve subsequently had more members than ever joining us this past year. I’d like to extend my hearty congratulations to all of us for reaching the 500 members milestone. 2 THAILAND INCENTIVE AND CONVENTION ASSOCIATION (TICA) TICA has also been privileged to collaborate with the TCEB MICE Capability Department, the Department of Disease Control, and the Ministry of Public Health, on a model that we call ‘mobile quarantine,’ which will allow businessmen and investors to visit Thailand with no 14- day compulsory quarantine. This model will involve air- tight hygiene control procedures, safety training courses for medical controller teams and the DMCs, and interna- tional visitor assistants who will accompany these incom- ing travellers. TICA has also participated in other successful pro- grammes this year, and we look forward to participating in more, in the hopes that we can kickstart the opening of Thailand’s borders.
