\u201cTo bring together all 10 MICE Cities to this regional trade show demonstrates the readiness of Thailand and Thai government\u2019s move in the easing of pandemic control measures as the reduced period of quarantine to 7 days for fully vaccinated travellers. The move has resulted in more businesses able to resume their activities and more cities prepared for reopening. On the part of MICE, TCEB has consistently made preparation for the reopening, ranging from the introduction of  all 10 MICE Cities to showcase diverse MICE locations, the development of more MICE routes to activities that reflect unique cultures of all regions. In this connection, TCEB has launched the 2022 communication campaign namely \u201cThailand: Redefine Your Business Events – Experience the Extraordinary\u201d to raise awareness of international MICE travellers that Thailand is ready to welcome them with  \u2018Extraordinary Destinations\u2019 that will deliver \u2018Extraordinary Experience\u2019 to impress global MICE travellers. Such delivery will make up for the absence of international travel lasting for almost 2 years now, which TCEB believe will ignite their desire for new and extraordinary rewards and Thailand will remain attractive with more enhanced attributes be they destinations, business opportunities and splendid <\/span>hospitality.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
