The Thailand Tourism Forum is back
BANGKOK, February 10, 2022: Thailand’s biggest annual hospitality industry event is back, with the 2022 Thai Tourism Forum scheduled for March 1 after a two-year hiatus.
The return of the in-person event will see nearly 500 hospitality executives discuss the theme “Thai Tourism United” which will tackle the issues brought about by the crisis while exploring the opportunities, threats and disruptions that continue to create a volatile market.
Billed as an event where the Thai tourism industry is united, it offers an opportunity to meet industry leaders and peers, explore and learn, and be part of our next step in 2022.
