Thailand is set to welcome its biggest corporate meeting and
incentive travel group since travel restrictions were lifted when the
2022 Unicity Global Leadership & Innovation Conference takes place
from 5-7 August at Bangkok's IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center.
Supported by Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), the
event is expected to attract more than 10,000 Unicity distributors from
over 50 countries, with post-event tours to Pattaya and Phuket available
to convention delegates.
Supawan Teerarat, TCEB’s senior vice president - MICE capability and
innovation, said: “TCEB’s collaboration with various government
departments and MICE organisations are bearing fruit – we are witnessing
an upswing in corporate meetings and incentive groups coming to
Thailand.”
TCEB is providing a partial subsidy and comprehensive services to
assist delegates attending the Unicity conference, including fast-track
immigration clearance for Unicity executives and its pre-event
conference teams with TCEB’s MICE Lane Service at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi
International Airport, and facilitation of visa application to Thai
embassies and consulates abroad by Unicity delegates in their home
countries.
The conference is projected to bring an estimated 660 million baht
(US$18 million) in spending by delegates to host city Bangkok and the
two primary post-conference tour destinations.
Looking ahead, TCEB forecasts Thailand will be hosting 25
international corporate meetings and incentive travel groups from July
to September this year, which will contribute more than 1 billion baht
to the Thai economy. This includes 15,138 travellers from the key source
markets of India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, the UK and
Vietnam.
