Cvent Ranks Bangkok a Top Asia-Pacific Meeting Destination
What happened
Cvent's 2026 Asia-Pacific Top Meeting Destinations ranking placed Bangkok second in the region, noting that the capital has the necessary hotels, convention facilities, and international connectivity to compete regionally. A survey of 100 unique venues in Thailand found that 91% were not listed on any international venue discovery platform, and 87% relied mainly on Facebook for promotion.

Why it matters
The ranking validates the infrastructure and appeal of Thailand as a business event location, supporting the country's efforts to promote its MICE industry. However, the reports also indicate that many unique Thai venues lack digital visibility on international platforms.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand is actively promoting Thailand as a leading business event destination, emphasizing Bangkok's status as a top meeting location.
