Bangkok will
host the upcoming edition of MarketHub Asia which, under the theme “Where
next?”, will feature a dynamic series of interactive sessions, engaging panel
discussions and networking opportunities designed to promote business growth
and innovation. Participants will hear valuable insights from travel leaders,
as well as exchanges with a range of industry experts, helping to shape the
future of travel in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions.
“MarketHub Asia showcases the value of
bringing leaders from across the travel industry and beyond together to learn
and uncover all the opportunities that lie ahead,” said Carlos Munoz, Chief
Commercial Officer of Hotelbeds. “We believe that with its strategic location
in Bangkok, this event will provide a gateway for global travel professionals
to tap into the potential of both the Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets and
explore business opportunities across the regions. MarketHub’s return to Asia
reflects the progress made in the travel sector’s recovery and signifies
renewed confidence in the future of tourism.”
The latest data from Hotelbeds shows that
Thailand has experienced remarkable growth as a travel destination, with an
impressive 180% increase compared to this time last year. Among the top
destinations chosen by travellers when visiting the country are Bangkok, Koh
Samui, Krabi, Pattaya and Phuket.
This is supported by recent figures from the
Thai Ministry of Tourism and Sports, which show that the country has welcomed
almost 12 million international tourists since the beginning of the year.
SiteMinder, Meituan and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) found that
Chinese travellers led the boom, with more than 1.3 million arrivals.
Previous editions of MarketHub, held in
Amsterdam and Cancun earlier this year, were a resounding success, attracting
industry professionals and thought leaders eager to collaborate, explore
emerging trends and showcase the industry's resilience and adaptability in an
ever-changing environment.
MarketHub Asia is an invitation-only event
attended by key Hotelbeds partners from across Asia-Pacific and Middle East.
