Thai sellers express their views about the event and elucidate on the scope of Thailand as a MICE maket for India

This is an opportunity for us to showcase what Chiang Mai can offer as a destination, delegates of this event were able to see and experience what each hotel can extend for MICE. With the strong presence of Tourism Authority of Thailand in the market, Chiang Mai can be the alternative solution for MICE business. With an average of 50 daily flights from Bangkok, stopover in main hubs like Singapore, Malaysia, HK, Shanghai, Beijing, Chiang Mai can be a suitable choice.” Alex Pasion Director of Sales Le Meridien Chiang Mai
