Thailand Travel Mart Plus Amazing Gateway to the Greater Mekong Sub-region (TTM+2010), a B2B annual event initiated since 2001, is scheduled for 2 to 4 June at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, despite earlier concerns that it might be postponed.
Earlier this year, Tourism Authority of Thailand targeted 450 sellers and 600 buyers. However, due to the political crisis, registration has dropped short of target on the buyers side (as of the latest update on 30 April). There are 355 buyers registered from 49 countries. Last year the event attracted 405 sellers and 400 buyers.

Just six weeks out from the 2 to 4 June, Thailand Travel Mart Plus 2010, the Tourism Authority of Thailand is still waiting for the Cambodia National Tourism Organisation to confirm if it will participate or not.
The event will be held at Impact Challenger Hall in Muang Thong Thani, a northern suburb of Bangkok, 25 km from the city’s down town tourist districts.
According to TAT, the official applications were closed since 31 March but the agency kept the door open for the Cambodian tourism organisation to confirm attendance. TAT staff claimed the invitation was accepted, but the actual paperwork has not been submitted confirming participation.
