Voice of MICE
TIME 2017 delegates share their experience about the event and their views on the scope of Thailand as a MICE maket
Although Thailand is the top MICE destination for Indians, there is need for the Thai industry to communicate and convince Indian customers that there is more to Thailand than just Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. The lead time for planning is getting shorter. Destinations need to be prepared to work on shorter lead time and last minute changes. Hotels should constitute Advisory Boards with senior management representative from leading corporate and MICE companies to update them about market trends on regular intervals.” Sushil Shamlal Wadhwa Founder & CMD of Platinum World Grroup
TIME has introduced us to a new facet of Thailand, largely different from the normal Thailand itineraries. Thailand already has a good proximity to India and is attractive in terms of fare and ease of visa. With the new experiential offering, the revenue and the experience for the client can both rise. The products showcased to us will make us share newer destinations, properties, and event locations for our MICE groups and incentives.” Anil Kalsi Managing Partner Ambe World Travels
TIME is a key instrument of Thailand business travelling showcase. TCEB has the best connection among key players of the world's MICE market which is an ideal business opportunity for Thai MICE service providers community.

With its charming art and culture, world-class hotels, international airport, convenient transportation service, 5-star convention centre, advanced MICE technology, Chiang Mai has myriad offerings."

Events like TIME are strategically conceptualised to showcase Thailand as being fully outfitted in accordance with international MICE requirements and standards, and readily primed to welcome sector visitors. Indian MICE industry players can be assured of gaining a whole new perspective on their events in Thailand.
