[PR] Travel Hashtag debuts in Bangkok

Bangkok, 24 October 2023 - The Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce (TICC) would like to announce that Travel Hashtag has chosen South-East Asia to close the year 2023 with an edition - the twelfth in four years - dedicated to Italy as destination.

At the brand new INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit hotel, located in the trendy and emerging On Nut district, an evening networking event will be staged with a decidedly lifestyle slant and reserved for a selected number of local guests including travel agents, journalists, weddings planners and many other professionals of these sectors.

Sponsored by ENIT and organized in collaboration with the Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce, the last stage of the Travel Hashtag year will have #glamourousitaly as its theme and hashtag. Among the main partners of the initiative, The Mall Luxury Outlets, Etihad Airways, Italo NTV, Italia Wedding Tourism, Kelmer Group who will have the task of "telling" Italy through the lens of shopping, wedding and experiential tourism. Will also intervene remotely Palazzo di Varignana, APT Basilicata, Matera Collection, Municipality of Cremona, Bettoja Hotels, and Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel.

"Bringing Italy to Bangkok – explains Mr. Nicola Romanelli, founder of Travel Hashtag – means opening a new channel of opportunities in a potentially enormous area that looks at our country with an interest in tourism linked to emotions, but also to business. The recent words of Ivana Jelinic, CEO of Enit, on the need to promote Italy also in South-East Asia confirm the goodness of our decision to debut in this region. An initiative, planned for some time with a medium-long vision term, which intends to act as a first small seed in a market yet to be known and conquered”.

Furthermore, the following day, Travel Hashtag partners will be among the protagonists of the event "Bridging Italy and Thailand in mutual tourism development" scheduled for October 26th at the Rembrandt Hotel & Suites Bangkok and which will involve entrepreneurs and managers of the companies present in the exclusive network of the Italian-Thai Chamber of Commerce.

“It is with great joy and enthusiasm that we welcome this extraordinary tourism event here in Bangkok – declares Mr. Federico Cardini, President of the Italian-Thai Chamber of Commerce – This occasion represents an unprecedented opportunity to promote and strengthen the ties between our two nations through the tourism industry. Bangkok, with its vibrant culture, historical monuments and unique gastronomic offerings, is an extraordinary place to discover. But that's not the only treasure we have to offer. Thailand is a land of natural beauty, with enchanting beaches, lush forests and a rich diversity of fauna and flora. On the other hand, Italy is a country rich in history, art and culture. With its fascinating cities, artistic masterpieces and world-renowned cuisine, it represents a highly appealing tourist destination. This meeting between the two cultures, through the tourism industry, can only enrich travelers' experience and promote greater mutual understanding. It is our desire to host many tourism operators from both countries, so that we can share our knowledge and promote the unique attractions that each of us has to offer. Together, we can create unforgettable experiences for tourists and promote respect for the age-old traditions that make our countries so special.”

“It is an honor for us to be a partner of this event” – states Mr. Giorgio Motta, General Manager of The Mall Luxury Outlets – “We work with passion and dedication to be ever closer to this extraordinary country. Thanks to this initiative we will have the opportunity to talk about our DNA and share the excellence that the territory that hosts us offers and that we are increasingly trying to enhance. The beauty of our countries and the continuous work of tourism promotion are just two of the many factors that bring us together; in fact, the Thai market, its people, its history and culture are extremely important to us, and I hope that this is just a further step towards a genuine and lasting partnership.”
