TCEB launches 'Million' campaign

BANGKOK Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) has initiated its new 'Thanks a Million' campaign which promises to reimburse one million baht (US$32,000) to cover local expenses for any 1,000-delegate convention that lasts a minimum of three days.

The bureau is targeting regional and offshore conferences which can be finalised and deliver results within a short period.

The campaign is expected to generate between US$27 million and US$70,000 million for the country.

Conventions with fewer than 1,000 delegates but more than 100 delegates will be considered, on a pro-rata basis. Events must be held before the end of September 2009 and applications must be submitted 90 days prior to the convention.

Applications can be made at www.tceb.or.th/thanksamillion, or by contacting conventions@tceb.or.th, before December 31, 2008.
