Dusit Executive Honoured with Thailand Meetings Leadership Award - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

Prachoom Tantiprasertsuk, Vice President – Operations (Central & Southern Thailand) and Government & Business Relations at Dusit International, has received the Thailand Meetings Leadership Award at the inaugural Thailand MICE Legacy Awards 2026.

The award was presented during MICE Day 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok on 29 April and recognises individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of Thailand’s meetings and events sector.

Ms Tantiprasertsuk currently also serves as President of the Thailand Incentive and Convention Association (TICA) for the 2025–2026 term.

More than three decades supporting Thailand’s MICE sector

The recognition acknowledges Ms Tantiprasertsuk’s contribution to Thailand’s MICE industry over more than 30 years. During this time, she has played an active role in strengthening industry collaboration, supporting Thailand’s international profile, and contributing to the long-term development of TICA.

Having been involved with the association since its early years, she has supported its evolution into one of Thailand’s leading professional organisations within the business events sector.

Drawing on extensive experience in the international hospitality industry, Ms Tantiprasertsuk has also contributed to the continued growth of Thailand’s meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions market at both national and international level.

Recognition reflects wider industry collaboration

Beyond individual achievement, the award also highlights the growing importance of leadership that extends beyond organisational boundaries. Collaboration between hospitality, tourism, government, and business events sectors continues to play a central role in strengthening Thailand’s position as a global MICE destination.

“This recognition is deeply meaningful because it reflects the collective efforts of so many people who have helped shape Thailand’s MICE sector over many years,” said Ms Tantiprasertsuk.

“I’ve been fortunate to work alongside dedicated colleagues and partners across hospitality, tourism, government, and business events, all of whom share the same goal of strengthening Thailand’s position on the global stage. This commitment is also closely aligned with Dusit’s long-standing vision and values.”

Chanin Donavanik, Group CEO and Acting Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dusit International, also emphasised the importance of long-term industry engagement.

“Thailand’s tourism and MICE sectors have always progressed through strong collaboration between passionate individuals across both the public and private sectors,” he said.

“Leaders who contribute beyond their own organisations play an important role in strengthening the industry for the future, and we believe supporting that kind of contribution remains essential to the long-term development of Thailand’s hospitality ecosystem.”

New awards recognise long-term industry impact

The Thailand MICE Legacy Awards were established by the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) to honour leaders and pioneers whose work has helped shape Thailand’s MICE industry over several decades.

The awards recognise contributions across meetings, exhibitions, conventions, and the broader development of Thailand’s business events sector.
