Thailand Travel Mart Plus (TTM+) will move to Chiang Mai in 2016, for the first time in the show’s 15-year history.
The event has always previously been held in Bangkok, but will be relocated to the Chiang Mai International Exhibition & Convention Centre (CMECC) next year.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), which organises the show, said the move was being undertaken in line with the event’s expanded focus on the Greater Mekong sub-region (GMS).
“The time is right for TTM+ to be moved to another location. Chiang Mai is perfectly suited because it is the closest Thai city to our neighbours in the GMS with a new convention centre and superb hotel facilities to accommodate all the guests,” explained Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of the TAT.
“The emergence of Myanmar as a major tourism destination, plus the improving transportation connectivity in the GMS, will further enhance the appeal of the entire area, giving buyers and media a chance to explore the many emerging new products and services.”
The inaugural Chiang Mai edition of TTM+ will be held from 8-10 June 2016, and is expected to attract 400 buyers from 50 countries.
