Thailand back on track

Thailand's MICE business is on track to enjoy a bumper year after a bleak time caused by political unrest in May. Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau, also known as TCEB, a public organization that promotes and develops business events in the country, is taking bold steps to revive the industry with a promotion program highlighting the unique appeal of key MICE cities in Thailand.

"The situation in Thailand is now peaceful and secure, as reflected in the satisfaction of both ordinary citizens and the business community," said Sek Wannamethee, director-general of Thailand's Information Department and spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during a conference in August.

"So now is the perfect time to showcase Thailand's strong fundamentals and resilient economy."
