Thailand Incentive and Convention Association (TICA) is a non-profit organisation established in 1984 jointly by the government (Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Airways International) and the private sector comprising key practitioners in the business events industry including meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition segments. TICA’s primary function is to aid the high quality and sustainable growth of Thailand as a preferred destination for meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition events. Since the formation of Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) in 2004 as the public organization responsible for the industry, TICA has been collaborating with TCEB towards mutual objectives. TICA members in the private sector include hotels and resorts, destination management companies and tour operators, professional convention and exhibition organisers and contractors, professional event management companies, convention and exhibition centers, local attractions, entertainment establishments, advertising agencies, meeting equipment providers and various other industry suppliers. They are all dedicated to providing best services to corporate planners, incentive travel companies, meeting planners and hosts, and exhibition organisers holding their events in Thailand.
