TCEB-TICA Domestic Corporate Famtrip

Sukhothai

20-22 February 2010

 

 

 

TCEB and TICA took a total to of 30 invited guests to Historical Sukhothai for a memorable 3-day familiarisation trip.

 

The itinerary included a “Baisri Ceremony”on arrival at Sukhothai followed by a visit to an “Organic Farm” run by Bangkok Airways. This charming activity included an earthy experience of actual rice planting where guests were dressed in traditional Thai rice farmer garbs and also included viewing a herd of water buffaloes bathing, as well as, picking their own vegetables for lunch.

 

Probably one of the earthiest trips organised by TCEB and TICA, the invited buyers who were expatriates from multi-national companies were surprised and in awe of the number of diverse activities that could be conducted in Sukhothai.

 

The trip included visits to the UNESCO Sukhothai Historical Park and a Loy Krathong theme dinner conducted with romantic cocktails held at sundown, using the ancient ruins as a venue to a Thai style dinner on traditional mats and triangular pillows.

 

The trip concluded with a CSR activity where the group contributed books and school uniforms for under privileged children at a local school.

 

Overall an enjoyable trip that was both exciting and enchanting, all guests made pledges to bring their corporate meeting and incentive groups to Sukhothai in the near future.

 

The trip was conducted by Pacific World Co., Ltd., with thanks extended to Bangkok Airways for their support to the trip.

 

Buyer invitations and trip co-ordination were handled by Talisman Media Group.

Green Meeting Package

Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket

Validity: Until October 2010

 

 

The Green Meeting Package at the Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket features 3-tiered prices for its meeting package: Baht 1,600++, 1,900++ and 2,200++ per person.

 

The 10 STEPS TO DUSIT THANI Laguna GREEN MEETING

 

1. Planet Well – Set your green goals at the start. Identify environmental issues that are significant to your organization or event location. Determine the amount of effort you can invest and how you will communicate your objectives to all involved. Use a checklist (available online from greenhotels.com, EPA.gov and many other sources) and get input from suppliers. Incorporate environmental priorities in your contract. Remember, it’s ok to start small - there is always room to grow.

 

2. Remember the 5 Rs – Reduce and Reuse - the best way to deal with waste is not to create it in the first place.  We make it simple and obvious: we will provide accessible, well-labeled bins and baskets for paper, aluminum cans and whatever else can be recycled (glass, plastic, nametag holders).  Most importantly, we review all the components of your event, from accommodations and activities to transportation and waste management; we rethink what’s needed on how we can make your custom tailored earth-friendly event. When making a final choice between venues, ask our Sales team if there is one further green accomplishment we can offer to obtain the business.

 

3. Go Online – We can assist you in cut paper use and mailing costs by creating an event website, offering electronic registration, confirmation and hotel reservations, and communicating via email.  Post presentation materials on-line or we could help in giving out a CD instead of a paper catalogue. We are also able to post your agenda on the in-room TV system instead of on paper flyers.

 

4. Green Room – At larger conferences we designate an area for excess and gently used office supplies, as well as magazines and other paper products. These will be donated to a local school or community center for craft projects or recycled. 

 

Bring our Dusit Thani concept back to your own office after the event.

 

5. ECO-nomical Gifts – Consider giving away useful, re-usable items made from recycled materials.  Practical choices include reusable coffee mugs, organic cotton shopping totes or brightly colored luggage tags made from recycled vinyl. Green gifts can also be fun, memorable, and, yes, even elegant. Please see our Sales team for ideas.

 

6. Breakthroughs – Start small by asking for minimized coffee break packaging and the use of reusable cups and napkins only. Drink responsibly: beverage containers are the average meeting’s largest waste producer.

Further, host a “Fresh Ideas” break that serves smoothies made with organic fruit, or fair trade coffees and teas, see our Sales team for details.

 

7. Local Flavour – our menus are planned using local, seasonal produce. We try to pour regional wines and bottled waters. We include vegetarian options or a meat-free meal.

Unused food is sent to a food bank, community meal program or composting facility.

 

8. Get Outdoors – Whether it’s a 15-minute fresh-air-break or an off-site event in our large gardens, encourage attendees to reconnect with nature.

 

9. Save Energy – Make sure power, lights and air conditioning are switched off when not in use. We provide information about public transport, shuttle bus and boat services. Also we remind our attendees about hotel linen reuse programs and in-room recycling.

 

10. People Power – We spread the word and encourage participation. We let our guests and speakers know about our commitment to environmental success at every opportunity, from the invitation to press releases, daily “housekeeping” announcements and evaluations.

Our green meeting package arrangement:

•    only open water, no plastic bottles

•    Use of pencils, no plastic pens

•    Use of natural materials

•    Serve green, organic food

•    apply healthy cooking processes by our experienced kitchen team

•    Easy digestible and healthy coffee breaks
