Vote for PEACH - CEI Industry Survey 2009

As you know, our Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH), the world-class meetings facility of the multi award-winning Royal Cliff Beach Resort, is now set to host large-scale events for as many as 8,000 delegates under one column-free roof. By virtue of a billion-baht (USD 31.67 million) expansion plan, the capacity of PEACH increased from 5,800 to 8,000 delegates further strengthening its position as the largest convention centre on the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand.

Already one of the main convention venues in the Kingdom, the extended facility has elevated Pattaya as the destination of choice in the global congress market. Commenced in August 2006 and completed in May 2008, the expansion programme helped the venue to facilitate large-scale events that were going to outgrow the existing facility or that could not be accommodated in Pattaya because of space constraints.

Since its inception in 1999, PEACH has been the venue for several prestigious global events. Some of the recent events include the District Governors-Elect Seminar held at part of the 91^st Lion’s Clubs International Convention, the United Cities and Local Governments Asia Pacific Congress 2008 (UCLG-ASPAC Congress), the 8^th Global Symposium for Regulators organised by the International Telecommunication Union, the 46^th ICCA World Congress and the 67^th Skål World Congress. These truly global events involving conventions, exhibitions and a series of breakout meetings/seminars, elevated Pattaya as the meeting industry’s preferred choice in the Asia Pacific!

President-Elect, Albert F.

The 2008 Lions Clubs International Convention held at PEACH, promised to be one of the most interesting conventions for the Kingdom of Thailand. Since this was the association’s first international convention in Thailand, the District Governors-Elect from all over the world, choose PEACH to host their seminars prior to going to Bangkok because of our world-famous amenities and state-of-the-art facilities. The delegates at the resort attended daily seminars and made personal connections with international leaders and representatives from headquarters all throughout the world on humanitarian issues and other important projects.

The 1,570 Lions Club Members, who attended the 91^st Lions Clubs International Convention for the District Governors-Elect Seminar, were very impressed with the Resort’s amazing facilities and 5-star service, which are often used for high level and prominent exhibitions and conferences all throughout the world.

In a personal statement, Mr. Brandel and his wife Dr. Maureen Murphy attributed the success of this year’s convention to the efforts of the club’s local host committee, led by Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau, and the integrated facilities that the Royal Cliff Beach Resort and PEACH have offered. “Everything has been great and everyone has done a terrific job. Everything was perfect and it will give us a wake-up call when we go elsewhere. Of all such annual events that I have attended, this has been the best in all aspects where facilities and services are concerned.” When asked, he and his wife said that they would love to make another trip back here again either for business or pleasure or both.

Further to that, he also said that the Thai hospitality and service of our staff and management along with the warmth of smiles that he and all the delegates received during their stay with the resort exceeded their expectations beyond expression.
