News this week: The Thai Government is looking to
private companies to manage the new Chiang Mai International Convention and
Exhibition Center. The venue is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter this
year after several months of delay due to construction problems.
The government
reportedly has the budget allocated to hire a professional management company for
the venue. The management selection process will be supervised by the Tourism Authority of
Thailand (TAT).
In a separate
development, the TAT announced development plans to merge the Thailand Travel Fair (TTF) and
the Thailand Travel Mart (TTM
Plus). The resulting new event, World Tourism Expo, is expected to launch in 2014
at IMPACT.
