Bangkok (Thailand) – November 8, 2017 (travelindex.com) – The Royal Paragon Hall has been awarded three international standard certifications, including: ISO 20121:2012 Event Sustainability Management System; ISO 22301:2012 Business Continuity Management System; and TISI 22300:2550 MICE Security Management System. This confirms and reinforces the hall's status as a "world-class event venue in the heart of Bangkok" with a strategic location and premium brand, and anticipates continued growth of 15% in 2018.

Mr. Talun Theng, Managing Director of Royal Paragon Hall, spoke about this milestone on the occasion of the award ceremony: “The success of Royal Paragon Hall in recent years is clearly reflected in the positive feedback from our clients. Thanks to our strategically advantageous location and our experienced team, Royal Paragon Hall has been chosen as a venue for numerous major events both nationally and internationally. These three ISO and TISI certifications strengthen our credibility with local and international clients and guarantee high standards for our venues. Furthermore, Royal Paragon Hall will continue to enhance its premium image, which positively impacts our clients' perceptions regarding environmental, economic, and social aspects in all areas of our work. Sustainable event management is an important international trend, and Royal Paragon Hall will continue to be equally committed to the success of all sectors.”

The Royal Paragon Hall is a leading international event venue with a first-class reputation and capacity for a wide variety of events. Its clients are primarily organizers of MICE events, concerts, and other special events. Its marketing strategy is based on the MICE3 concept (E = Exhibition, E = Entertainment, E = Event). Over the past ten years, the Royal Paragon Hall has recorded average annual growth of 10–15%.

These three ISO and TISI certifications will further strengthen the Royal Paragon Hall's 70:30 customer ratio, both locally and globally. They will raise the reputation of Thailand's MICE industry to the level of other venues worldwide. Furthermore, Thailand will gain more opportunities to host international events, which will have a positive impact on the economy and society.

Pannee Angsusingha, President of MASCI and also an auditor, assessor, and awarding body for ISO and TISI certificates, explained: “Fast-paced and unpredictable situations pose a threat to businesses, their stakeholders’ profits, and even an organization’s reputation, image, and value creation. Sustainability is therefore key to raising awareness of economic, environmental, and social aspects while ensuring credibility and accountability to customers. These are the current challenges for organizations, and they must be prepared to respond and manage them effectively in crisis situations. Royal Paragon Hall has been certified by MASCI with its integrated management system for high organizational flexibility according to ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management System – BCMS), TISI 22300 (MICE Security Management System – MSMS), and ISO 20121 (Event Sustainability Management System – ESMS). Royal Paragon Hall will continue its operations smoothly and is well-prepared for the next unconventional challenges in the future.” "Prepared for this fast-paced and uncertain business environment to ensure the safety of customers and visitors in Thailand." The Royal Paragon Hall demonstrates Thailand's ability to take a leading role in sustainable MICE management on a regional and global level."

The President of the TCEB, Mr. Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, stated: “In modern business administration, business continuity management, including risk management, is always a key focus. Sustainable management, which considers the impact on the environment and society, is also of great importance. The MICE industry is among the sectors that embrace this approach, as it is a key factor in consumers' purchasing decisions when booking events. This also creates a competitive advantage for Thai MICE companies, as Thailand continues to develop as an event destination.”

“TCEB encourages Thailand’s MICE businesses to align themselves with international standards and contribute to setting industry benchmarks. We were proud to support Royal Paragon Hall with budget and expertise, resulting in three certifications: ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), ISO 20121 Event Sustainability Management System (ESMS), and TISI 22300 MICE Security Management System (MSMS). TCEB warmly congratulates Royal Paragon Hall on this milestone. It is a testament to the Thai MICE industry and will undoubtedly inspire other MICE businesses to further develop their capabilities to achieve these standards as well.”

The Royal Paragon Hall recently took the opportunity to thank its business partners, sponsors, and the public by hosting a seminar on "Sustainable Event Management." The speaker was Ms. Janet Salem from UNEP Asia-Pacific. She shared her knowledge of sustainable event management, which considers environmental aspects and efficient resource management while maintaining the venue's high standards.
