Serious connoisseurs and students of the history of Thai tourism are invited to a forum on "Thailand: The Greatest Story In Global Tourism History" at Arnoma Grand Bangkok, Ratchadamri Road, on June 14, 9.30am-4.30pm.
Held for the first time by Imtiaz Muqbil, executive editor of Travel Impact Newswire, the unique forum will reflect on how Thai travel and tourism reached their current lofty heights and the challenges they face.
Having been reporting on Thai tourism since 1981, Muqbil regards Thai tourism an "ageing industry", in search of ways to reinvent and reposition itself in an era of intense competition and mind-boggling challenges.
He will be sharing his unmatched archives of reports, studies and notes on Thai tourism, demonstrating how it has grown and overcome many global, regional and local crises.
Conducted in English, the forum is an independent, non-sponsored event designed to ensure maximum freedom for independent discussion. It is perfectly targeted at the emerging generation of young Thai tourism leaders, expatriate travel and tourism executives, investors, diplomats, civil-society activists, UN and other multilateral agency representatives, marketing consultants, and Chamber of Commerce members.
This is also an opportunity for new emerging destinations in Asia and Africa, especially states, provinces and cities, to learn from the successes and failures of the Thai tourism experience.
Seats are very limited. For further details on costs and other arrangements, email imtiaz@travel-impact-newswire.com.
