“Fitness and sports are among the fastest-growing industries in Asia today. To offer their clients added value as consultants, fitness professionals must stay informed about the latest scientific findings and their applications, as well as training equipment and techniques. They must apply best practices to ensure their clients' health, fitness, and performance. For this, they need objective information, expert advice, and internationally recognized service standards. Thanks to innovative training and development programs and nine years of successful events, we expect this year's event and the concurrent Asia Fitness Expo to bring over 4,000 visitors to Thailand, further strengthening Thailand's reputation as a leading fitness travel destination,” said Suzanne.
