Bangkok (Thailand) – August 26, 2015 (travelindex.com) – The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB today announced the latest measure to strengthen the 2015 partnership program under Thailand's MICE United II: the hosting of the “Thailand CONNECT The World: China MICE Commemorative Dinner 2015”, which will take place on September 17, 2015 at the Hyatt on the Bund Hotel in Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

The “Thailand CONNECT The World: China MICE Commemorative Dinner 2015” is a marketing and PR activity within the framework of Thailand’s MICE United II, a strategic campaign in cooperation with nine public and private organizations. Its aim is to strengthen Thailand’s positive image and position the country as a gateway to success in the ASEAN region, particularly in light of the upcoming implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). The TCEB also uses this event as a platform to inform the Chinese MICE market about the current situation in Thailand.

Ms. Parichat Svetasreni, Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications at TCEB, explained that the “Thailand CONNECT The World: China MICE Commemorative Dinner 2015” is being held to mark the 40th anniversary of Thai-Chinese relations and is a key component of TCEB’s activities in the Chinese MICE market, one of Thailand’s most important source markets. Hosting this event is a sign of our appreciation for Chinese business travelers, as demonstrated by the targeted promotions and special welcome packages that TCEB and its strategic partner, the Ratchaprasong Square Trade Association (RSTA), have prepared for Chinese MICE travelers in Thailand. Furthermore, TCEB and RSTA will provide an update on the current MICE situation in Thailand and initiatives aimed at strengthening confidence in Thailand as a preferred MICE destination.
