MICE SUSTAINABility
Thailand

Leading
the Sustainability
Revolution

Thailand was the first country in Asia to advocate the greening of its MICE industry as a positive marketing tool and to help protect the environment. The Thai MICE industry’s widespread acceptance of TCEB’s green guidelines has led to more business coming to Thailand as organisers indicate their preference for holding business events in a green destination.

Sustainability in Action

TCEB developed and implemented the innovative Green Meetings Guidelines in 2008 in a determined effort to take Thailand’s MICE industry along the path of becoming green. In doing so, Thailand became the first country to create a dynamic roadmap for green meetings and use it to spread the green MICE message throughout Asia. The Thai MICE industry has adopted TCEB’s Green Meetings Guidelines so thoroughly that Thailand is now regarded as the most outstanding host of green meetings.

Green Your Events for a
Sustainable Environment

Upgrading Thailand’s MICE Industry to “Sustainability”, in 2012 TCEB has adopted a new sustainability strategy for the Thai MICE industry, based on the self-sufficiency philosophy of His Majesty the King. Under TCEB’s guidance, Thailand is only the second country in the world to implement and encourage certification in the new standard ISO 20121, the Event Sustainability Management System, which advocates management based on social, economic and environmental considerations. TCEB’s pioneering move has placed Thailand firmly on the global MICE map as an advocate of sustainability.

Pedal in Green

As part of its emphasis on environmental concerns, TCEB encourages people to use bicycles to commute, an activity suitable for MICE Cities. To boost cycling, TCEB is working with Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) to create a Bicycle Parking Spot and provide a safe place to leave bicycles.

Managing Carbon Footprint
in Business Events

Taking sustainability in business events to the next level, TCEB partners with Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) to prepare the direction on carbon footprint assessment for the business events, primarily supporting MICE operators to stage events with more consideration towards the environment and embarking on a journey for a lowcarbon society.

The Thai MICE industry is reaping many benefits from adopting TCEB’s sustainability initiatives and global standards of service. International awareness that Thailand hosts exclusive green events with outstanding service quality is resulting in more event business and more bids won.
