No Vacancy heads for Bangkok
No Vacancy, one of Asia Pacific’s leading accommodation industry conferences, is heading to Thailand with its first southeast Asian event in Bangkok on June 7, the day before the start of Thai Travel Mart.
Key themes are distribution, innovation, Internet, marketing and technology.
No Vacancy has been run annually for the past five years in Sydney and is strongly supported by leading hoteliers, online travel agents, technology suppliers and industry groups.
Founder Martin Kelly says he decided to stage No Vacancy in Thailand because it’s “probably the most dynamic tourism market in southeast Asia†yet has been overlooked by conference producers.
“All the events seem to be going to Singapore but Thailand is a great country and I think it offers good potential for a forward looking accommodation conference such as No Vacancy.â€
Kelly says No Vacancy Thailand will have a strong local market focus.
“We will be looking at the key elements of running a successful accommodation business, whether it’s a hotel or website,†he says.
“The internet is an extremely important part of that, as is getting the right balance in terms of distribution and also pricing.â€
There will be case studies, industry performance benchmarking, design updates, an in depth examination of key markets, case studies and sessions on search, loyalty and digital marketing.
The programme will be announced in the last week of March, when bookings will also open.
No Vacancy Thailand is being held at the Millennium Hilton Bangkok on June 7.
