Thailand’s largest hotel industry event returns to take a critical forward look in a year of uncertainty. After a massive downturn, what’s in store for hotel owners and operators ahead in a volatile marketplace?
Join us as Thailand’s tourism industry stands united in 2021. With green shoots on the horizon, TTF looks at how the industry must evolve and change in a unique and relevant forum that isn’t wasted time talking about the past, but how to move ahead and the steps required to rebuild the face and brand of the nation. Hard talk, new ideas and the shift in the mindset of hotels in the year ahead take center stage in this provocative outing. This is an exclusive ‘in person’ event and will not be broadcast live virtually.
