About this Event
With the Thailand tourism storyline focused on the great chase for the elusive mass metric of 40 million visitors, 2019 has seen a volatile marketplace, not only in the country, but across the region and the globe. The upcoming Thailand Tourism Forum (TTF) 2020 – Ninth Edition is a unique opportunity at the beginning of the year to take a deep dive into the country’s hospitality universe.
Welcome to The Big Bang, where disruption has become the biggest threat and opportunity to one of Thailand’s key contributors to GDP. Critical issues facing tourism ranging from a China-slowdown, Thai Baht appreciation, rising competition across Southeast Asia and a looming great step forward on mega projects and wide-ranging transportation expansion will be candidly debated on stage. Raging bulls, future talk and meeting the next generation of Thailand’s hotel industry will run at an adrenalin pumping pace. Fast, furious and in your face are the touchstones for Thailand Tourism Forum 2020.
TTF 2020 is a Thailand-focused hotel and tourism event with a pulse, that aims to not talk at you, but with you. Set to take place on Monday 20th January 2020 at the InterContinental Hotel Bangkok, over 1,000 participants are expected to gather for the country’s largest industry event.
