So, about 553,000 MICE travelers cam from the Asia Pacific region and "planned to attract some 10,000 more travelers in the MICE category from the Asia-Pacific region throughout this year." So, this campaign plans to attract 1.8% more MICE travelers? Aim higher kid. 10% would be a D-grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it all depends where you are or where you go. I stayed a couple of weeks in a hotel in Nong Prue, and that place was full of farangs,no Indians or Chinese just a few Thais. I also had lunch a couple of times at the Hilton,and it was very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
