Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) - a leading-edge government agency -has been the key to success for a wide range of global and regional business events since 2004. With our key strategic model - Growth Driver - TCEB works as your straegic business partner, delivers creative ideas, and provides solutions from our capable resources for customised events at every scale.
To further drive growth, TCEB has adopted a
three-pronged strategy to turn Thailand into ASEAN’s most
desirable MICE destination:
To provide all necessary support and connections to bring more international MICE events to Thailand.
To position Thailand as a preferred destination for international MICE events based on the high quality and standards of operators and infrastructure.
To strengthen the operations and capabilities of human resources, venues and services involved in the MICE industry to the highest international standards under the direction of TCEB’s MICE Capabilities Department.
The MICE Capabilities Development department is determined to significantly strengthen Thailand’s MICE industry through content and knowledge management, networking and astute market intelligence. The overall goal is to generate well-trained professionals who are capable of delivering international standards of service while exuding traditional Thai warmth and friendliness. This innovative programme will inspire a new generation of students to pursue a rewarding career in Thailand’s rapidly expanding MICE industry, while encouraging industry professionals to enhance their management skills.

(the ‘Four E’s’) of the MICE Capabilities Development
department are succinctly expressed as:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
