Laguna Phuket to Host Domestic MICE Mart on 1 August 2014

Laguna Phuket will host Thailand’s first Domestic MICE Mart (DMM) organised by the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), a public organization tasked with promoting and developing MICE businesses and events in Thailand, on Friday, 1 August 2014.

TCEB is promoting MICE industry development in Thailand with monthly tradeshows in the country’s targeted five MICE cities; Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Pattaya, and Phuket, over a period of five consecutive months which started in late March 2014 in Bangkok.

A leading MICE venue in each city was selected to host a full-day tradeshow where sellers and buyers in Thailand’s domestic MICE industry will meet. Laguna Phuket is the chosen host venue for the tradeshow in Phuket, the last city in the campaign’s very first edition.

As one of the country’s economic hubs, Phuket has everything necessary for events including over 600 hotels in all budget ranges; an efficient international airport that welcomes direct flights from all over the globe; and a dazzling array of venues, activities, and attractions to ensure fun and fulfilling exhibitions, conventions, and team-building functions.

“We are very proud to be the selected host venue for this exciting MICE mart,” said Ms. Prapa Hemmin, Laguna Phuket’s Director of Sales-MICE & Corporate Events. “MICE business in Thailand has seen a steady pick up; thanks to TCEB for its strong partnership and global connections that keeps Thailand abreast of the industry’s interest and selection.”
