Thailand Successfully Uplifts ICCA Rankings, Report Says The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) announced the release of its Country and City Rankings Report for 2023 during IMEX Frankfurt 2024. The results show Thailand jumped 6 places in one year, from the World’s 32nd in 2022 to 26th in 2023! The report encapsulates the data of approximately 10,000 conventions held throughout 2023 across various regions worldwide. In summary, the Asian Region stands out at the top alongside Europe and America, followed by Latin America and Oceania. As the host of 143 ICCA-qualified conventions, Thailand has markedly elevated its standing in the global meetings landscape, securing the 26th position worldwide, 6th in the APAC region, and 2nd in ASEAN. On cities level, Bangkok has ascended to the top 15 worldwide with 88 meetings, while Chiang Mai climbed 80 places to the world’s 122nd, a result of doubling its conventions from the year before. The report also indicates that Thailand's other two major MICE cities—Phuket and Pattaya—continually mark their places in the global meetings arena. As the national bureau, TCEB continues its work with the entirety of Thailand’s conventions ecosystem and leverages its strong international partnerships to ensure the country's emergence as a high-value destination on the global stage.

These cities are emerging as competitive players, demonstrating robust capabilities in hosting international events. The strategic efforts in enhancing our infrastructures, services, and organizational capacity have prepared us to meet the diverse needs of every event profile.

These achievements reflect our unyielding dedication to capturing and supporting MICE opportunities, according to Luis Pedro Martins, the president of Visit Porto and North of Portugal - Convention & Visitors Bureau. "There is no doubt that this sector is a significant lever for tourism due to its multiplier effect on other tourism segments and its role in energizing other economic sectors," emphasis. Just as our Ofelia de Souza says, "Trust us darling...We Know" that Porto and North of Portugal is the wise choice for your events and meetings. 😉 #visitportoandnorth #ICCA #RankingICCA #ICCACountryandCityRankings

As this article astutely points out, we are seeing how rising costs are spurring more corporates to look at holding their business events in cheaper destinations across South-east Asia. Interesting case study of a fellow events solutions provider... Much to learn from and think about! #miceindustry #miceevents #micesingapore

Thailand MICE Confidence Index Survey 3rd quarter of 2024 (July - September 2024) This survey aims to gather valuable insights to generate the Thailand MICE Confidence Index. Your participation will contribute to a comprehensive analysis of the current sentiment within the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE) industry in Thailand. The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) is dedicated to fostering growth and promotion within the MICE industry. To achieve this, we've developed the Thailand MICE Confidence Index. This index will be distributed to private sector MICE operators, industry associations, relevant government authorities, and other stakeholders. Participation in this quarterly survey is crucial for effective planning, monitoring industry health, and ultimately strengthening Thailand's MICE sector. We encourage participation from MICE operators, private sector businesses involved in MICE activities, and relevant government organizations. The survey is designed to gather data for the development of a comprehensive industry confidence index, not individual company performance. The anonymized results will be published quarterly. TCEB extends its gratitude to all participants for their valuable contribution.
