ATLANTA—The Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) has joined the Green Meeting Industry Council (GMIC) as an annual, platinum business partner, with the intent to collaborate efforts of meeting industry stakeholders to improve meeting management practices by promoting environmentally responsible strategies.

With their vision to make Thailand a globally recognized and preferred MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) destination in Asia, and mission to “enhance the impact of Thailand’s MICE industry on the Thai economy; and to create sustainable fundamentals for Thailand’s MICE industry to compete efficiently and effectively in the international arena,” the TCEB chose GMIC as a global partner with whom they can align and expand these goals.

“International awareness that Thailand is one of the preferred sustainable destinations is essential for us,” says Ms. Nichapa Yoswee, director of MICE Capabilities Department of TCEB. “Our TCEB-GMIC partnership is beneficial for us because it mutually enhances our public image, aids in our marketing and communication strategies for MICE target markets worldwide, and allows us to align with an association and organization that is dedicated to providing education and resources toward sustainability in the meetings and events industry.”

Current GMIC President Connie Bergeron, CMP, adds, “Meeting professionals seek to connect with suppliers that have a reputation for integrity and commitment to green meeting practices. The GMIC is the only green meeting organization that is a member of the Convention Industry Council. We are at the forefront of moving the industry toward adoption and integration of accepted green meeting standards; and we are involved in the APEX/ASTM green meeting protocols, Global Reporting Initiative’s Event Sector Supplement and the ISO sustainable events standards development. TCEB’s partnership with GMIC shows not only their commitment to these advancements in our industry, but also a transparency to their members and ours of their sustainability commitments and goals.”
