The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) has unveiled a new support scheme to help organisers of international tradeshows in Thailand get back to business in the wake of Covid-19.
Re-Energizing
Exhibition is a new campaign designed to help international organisers and
their clients gain all they can from their exhibition experience in Thailand.
It seeks to limit disruption to event creation and management by supporting
both online and offline services through four core values, ease-up, experience,
enhance and empower.
The
campaign incorporates and expands on previous initiatives including the ASEAN+6
Privilege programme, now extended to include oversea MICE travel agents; and
the Exhibiz in Market campaign, which has been made available to one more
player, exhibition sales agents.
“TCEB’s e-themed quartet of promotions have been designed to introduce domestic talent and enterprise, aid with international and regional promotion and mitigate the disruption caused by Covid-19’s impact on international events”, said Mrs. Nichapa Yoswee, TCEB senior vice president – business. Ease Up supports the recruitment of domestic participants, reduces minimum size of events and lowers the criteria in the physical attendance of international participants, while promoting remote international participation through international marketing assistance. This has been achieved by revising ASEAN+6 Privilege and Exhibiz in Market campaigns, in addition to raising fixed financial subsidy of up to 25 per cent for both local and overseas marketing across all event sizes.
The experience
element sees TCEB inviting international and domestic involvement through
effective hybrid exhibition development. Thailand has embraced this ‘new
normal’ of exhibitions in which engagement is increased through online
components, driven by the bureau’s Virtual Meeting Space (VMS), which supports
business conducted through effective online methods such as webinars and
online-to-offline interaction. The support includes site inspection of virtual
events.
In
parallel with this, TCEB also strives to ensure minimal disruption to the
physical experience, providing additional funding for organisers to conduct
hygiene management and apply disease control measures set out by the Ministry
Of Public Health.
To enhance
international business events in Thailand, TCEB is promoting target industries,
supporting exhibitions with strong potential to expand industries relating to
Thailand 4.0, logistics and infrastructure, as well as those identified by the
government as post-Covid-19 focus industries. These include future automotive;
robotics and automation; medical hub; food processing; defence/disaster and
pandemic management, many of which industries have a localised presence in Thailand’s
high-profile industrial infrastructure, such as the Eastern Economic Corridor.
Apart
from that, partnership with the airlines will grant additional privileges for
local and international participants.
The
Empower component of TCEB’s new campaign is designed to engage government
collaboration by easing regulations, facilitating growth and giving regional
industry a boost through pavilions at trade shows in Thailand.
TCEB is
doing the utmost to ensure new shows are being developed with a commitment to
local service providers and an incubation programme designed to support and
propel Thai entrepreneurs.
At its
core, Re-Energizing Exhibition aims to provide accessibility and return on
investment from trade shows in Thailand, and minor changes to existing
campaigns further accommodate the market’s changing requirements, such as
including overseas MICE travel agents in ASEAN+6 Privilege campaign. The
Exhibiz in Market campaign has also been extended to include exhibition sales
agents in addition to worldwide trade associations, chambers of commerce,
non-profit organisations and federations. Thailand
is South East Asia’s leading exhibitions marketplace. As restrictions on events
are now eased up, there will be 43 shows scheduled for 2021 and another 14 shows
in the pipeline. TCEB is on-hand to re-energize the future of the industry,
concluded Mrs. Nichapa.

In the event world, it’s simply part of life if things don’t work out as planned.
Networking typically happens at real, in-person events. But it’s also possible to do it online; it just works a little differently. There are various options available to organisers.
New products and a well-conceived stand design are not the only drivers for a successful presence. Many other factors are also important, but trade fair planners often lose sight of them.
Trade fairs and trade fair companies need to constantly further develop, become more agile and flexible and offer services all year round. New, digital offerings are very important here. With its TrustedTargeting technology, Messe München offers its customers access to leading business-to-business decision-makers on the Internet.
