Triumphantly, we can say that the success is from strong collaborations of involving parties from public and private sectors, who have dedicated to boost the growth of national MICE and enable it to prosper with stability.\u201dDomestic MICE market has marked the highest growth in Incentives market, both in number and revenue. Traveller growth totalled 18%, whereas the revenue growth registered 180%. Top 5 MICE cities include Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Phuket and Pattaya, respectively.<\/div>\n
