BANGKOK – As Bangkok brews with political uncertainty, it’s business as usual for Dusit International who hosted its global Sales and Marketing Workshop at the legendary Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel on 12-15 January 2014.

Nearly 100 Dusit International executives from Europe, North America, Africa and Asia converged on the hotel, located adjacent to a main demonstration site in the heart of the city’s central business district.

The workshop attracted a number of high-profile speakers including: Mr Robin Lokerman, Group President of one of the largest global consulting and events management companies, MCI; Ms Liu Ping, CEO of the first dedicated incentive travel and meetings organisers in China, China Star Group; and Mr Ananya Narayan, Senior Vice President - Global Strategy of Preferred Hotel Group. Delivering the keynote address was Mr Giovanni Angelini, Vice Chairman of Dusit International, who briefed the group on the company’s ongoing expansion plans.

Key presentations also included The Role of the Professional Conference Organiser in the Digital Era, Hotel Pricing in a Social World, and An Overview of Inbound and Outbound China Travel Trends.

“We decided to hold the conference despite the ‘Bangkok Shutdown’ as a way of sending a clear message to both our team and to potential guests to Bangkok: this city remains one of the world’s top destinations and will most definitely rebound,” said Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Ms Catherine McNabb.

Dusit International Managing Director and CEO Mr Chanin Donavanik also echoed the sentiment, commending his team for making the trip and holding a successful workshop to kick-start the year.
