Laguna Phuket will host Thailand’s 1st Domestic MICE Mart (DMM) organised by Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), a public organization tasked with promoting and developing MICE businesses and events in Thailand, on Friday 1st August 2014.
The campaign aims to promote and enhance the MICE industry development in Thailand by rolling out monthly tradeshows in Thailand’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.
Leading MICE venue in each city has been 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 outstanding business 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.*
