The two giants of Chinese trade shows, Hotelex and Hotel & Shop Plus, are co-organizing Food & Hospitality Thailand




The two giants of Chinese trade shows, Hotelex and Hotel & Shop Plus, are co-organizing Food & Hospitality Thailand. Informa Markets has announced the exciting expansion of the event into Thai Tourism & Hospitality Week, aiming to fully boost Thai tourism.

Miss Helen Fan, Executive Deputy General Manager of Sinoexpo Informa Markets, shared her insights on the growth of Thailand's tourism industry and the expanded collaboration for organizing Hotel & Shop Plus Thailand and Hotelex Thailand. She highlighted that Thailand's tourism industry ranks among the top globally in terms of both value and the number of tourists. The country is celebrated for its diverse attractions, convenience, safety, and travel value. Thailand's unique features-such as its cuisine, culture, traditions, Thai massage and traditional medicine, spas, and the friendliness of its people-continuously draw visitors from around the world. These factors contribute to the enduring appeal and steady growth potential of Thailand's tourism industry. Recognizing this potential, Sinoexpo Informa Markets, the organizer of the major Chinese trade shows Hotel & Shop Plus and Hotelex, is bringing these events to Thailand to be held in conjunction with Food & Hospitality Thailand this year.

Hotel & Shop Plus is a trade show for products and services related to the design and decoration of buildings, hotels, and commercial spaces. Held in China for over 30 years, it has grown annually. This year, the company is bringing Hotel & Shop Plus Thailand to be held alongside Food & Hospitality Thailand for the second time, following last year's great success and positive feedback. This year's event will feature modern products, solutions, and innovations, including smart technologies, stylish design materials, and cleaning equipment, all aimed at enhancing the guest experience. Additionally, the event will facilitate business matchmaking to create opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs, serving as a hub for procurement, a meeting point, and a business networking platform for investors, hotel operators, and professionals in the hospitality industries across Southeast Asia.

Hotelex is an event showcasing solutions for the hotel and catering sectors, featuring new products and technologies in the food and beverage industry, including kitchen equipment, packaging, and service tools. This year, Hotelex Thailand will be held in the country for the first time under the theme "Building the Future of the Food and Hotel Industry." The event will feature a diverse range of categories and products, with exhibition booths from leading global brands in cooking equipment and packaging, such as Sunice, GCS Group, and TRUST. It aims to connect businesses across the entire tourism, hotel, and catering industry supply chain, and serve as a platform for knowledge exchange among experts and experienced industry professionals.

Miss Supaporn Aungsrisuraporn, the Senior Event Manager at Informa Markets - Thailand, discussed the partnership between two major Chinese trade shows, Hotel & Shop Plus Thailand and Hotelex Thailand. These events will be held concurrently with Food & Hospitality Thailand 2024. She highlighted that Sinoexpo Informa Markets, a subsidiary of Informa Markets, is collaborating with Informa Markets - Thailand to organize these shows together. Given Thailand's strengths in the tourism industry and its pivotal role as a key hub connecting to numerous countries in the region, it's an ideal location for this collaboration.

By merging cooperation and leveraging the strengths of all three events, this year's exhibition has grown significantly into the Thai Tourism & Hospitality Week. It aims to cover every aspect of the tourism industry, including hotels, restaurants, hospitality, spas, and retail. This consolidation aims to continually elevate Thailand's tourism industry to a leading global position. It also provides an opportunity for businesses and attendees to explore the latest trends in the food and hospitality industry, discover interesting products and solutions, and explore technological innovations from key global manufacturers. With an exhibition space of over 20,000 square meters and participation from more than 3,000 brands across over 30 countries, both Thai and international exhibitors will showcase their offerings. We invite Thai entrepreneurs and interested individuals to join us at this upcoming event.

Food & Hospitality Thailand 2024 is the ultimate trade show for the hotel, restaurant, and hospitality industry in the region. It will take place from 21-24 August 2024, at Halls 1-4, G Floor, Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.
