Registration is now open for the Thailand Tourism Forum 2024, which marks the 13th year of the country's largest hotel event. TTF2024 is a fast-paced, candid forward look at key trends and issues facing the hospitality industry. Organized by C9 Hotelworks, this is a timely beginning of the year report card on Thai tourism.
Featured topics and speakers include Google on emerging AI for hospitality, a look into Thailand's leadership in lifestyle hotels, Michelin restaurants and how properties are now being led by innovative bars and restaurants. Leading data performance group STR dive into what has happened to the China market to Thailand. JLL Hotels and Hospitality will provide an overview of hotel transactions and Horwath HTL on the emerging glamping and outdoor accommodation sector.
Other timely subjects will be branding leader QUO on post-pandemic organizational change, and panels on food and beverage branding and sustainability. Tech remains a key industry focus, and this year's TTF2024 will see a special prequel innovation pitch session, titled The Thaiger Cage. You won't want to miss this dynamic, provocative and idea driven forum. Attendance is free but must be confirmed by registering now as seats are limited.
