Each of the 10 winners of \ufffdThai MICE Connect – 10 Creative Routing Contest\ufffd received \ufffdOutstanding Creative\ufffd trophy and online marketing packages via Thai MICE Connect platform of TCEB, which is worth over 2 million baht in value.

<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
            The winner of \ufffdBest of the Best\ufffd prize, Mr. Chutidech Promkaewngarm, Deputy General Manager, Standard Tour Co., Ltd.,<\/b> said that the distinction of \ufffdChiang Mai MICE City\ufffd lies in its diverse Lanna culture. Having stemmed from TCEB\ufffds Thailand 7 MICE Magnificent Themes\ufffd, the idea for the route was expanded by synchronizing it with history and culture. The itinerary features the experience with Bodhi tree sustaining ritual, a traditional belief at Chang Kham Temple; join CSR activity at Doi Luang Chiangdao, which is the world\ufffds newest biosphere reserve declared by UNESCO; visit the Royal Factory 1, which is the first factory of the Royal Project founded by late King Rama IX.  <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
            Mr. Kittiphong Yawut, the village head of Ban Yang, one of the communities featured in the Best of the Best winning route<\/b>, stated that \ufffdBan Yang Community is ready to welcome educational tour groups of 15-100 persons each. Previously, we had catered visiting groups from both public and private sectors. These visitors joined a cooking class to learn how to make local dishes and dessert. They also took part in environmental activities, including weir building and visited the Royal Factory 1 at Fang, which is the learning site of the late King Rama IX\ufffds philosophy. Definitely, selecting Ban Yang Community for the itinerary designed for MICE travellers will ensure productive impacts on the community as villagers can make a living, thus, boosting the local economy. Young people will have jobs in their hometown and be able to serve MICE activities.  <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
            Mr. Chiruit <\/b>concluded that, the 10 MICE Routes project will be helpful for MICE entrepreneurs and communities facing COVID-19 impacts in each city. TCEB will help market the route to boost sale and purchase of these products via both offline and online channels, including Thai MICE Connect platform. In this respect, the bureau will organise business matching activities for those looking for routes that will make their creative meetings. Moreover, the winning routes will be combined into TCEB\ufffds domestic market boosting project \ufffdThailand: A Safer Place for Meetings\ufffd which will make the 10 routes become eligible for budget support if organisers choose them in organising MICE activities.  <\/span><\/div>\n
