Dusit manager recognized with Thailand Meetings Leadership Award | News
Prachoom Tantiprasertsuk, Vice President – Operations (Central & Southern Thailand) and Government & Business Relations at Dusit International, and President of the Thailand Incentive and Convention Association (TICA), has received the prestigious Thailand Meetings Leadership Award at the inaugural Thailand MICE Legacy Awards 2026, organized by the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB).
The award, to be presented during MICE Day 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok on April 29, 2026, recognizes individuals who have been instrumental in advancing Thailand’s meetings sector and strengthening the country’s position as a leading international MICE destination.
Ms Tantiprasertsuk was recognized for her contributions to Thailand’s MICE sector for more than three decades, including her long-standing role in supporting industry cooperation, strengthening Thailand’s international profile and helping to drive the development of TICA, where she has been involved since its early years and currently serves as President for the 2025-2026 term.
Drawing on extensive experience in the international hospitality sector, she has played an active role in supporting the growth of Thailand’s meetings sector and TICA’s continued evolution as a leading professional organization within the country’s corporate events landscape.
While the recognition honors individual achievements, it also reflects the increasingly important role that hospitality industry leaders play in supporting the broader advancement of Thailand’s tourism and business events ecosystem through collaboration, mentorship and long-term industry involvement.
“This recognition is very meaningful as it reflects the collective efforts of so many people who have helped shape Thailand’s MICE sector over many years,” said Ms Tantiprasertsuk. “I have been fortunate to work with dedicated colleagues and partners in the hospitality, tourism, government and corporate events industries, who all share the same goal: strengthening Thailand’s position on the global stage. This commitment is also closely aligned with Dusit’s long-standing vision and values.”
Commenting on the recognition, Chanin Donavanik, Group CEO and Acting Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dusit International, who has long supported the progress of Thailand’s tourism and hospitality sector through leadership and involvement in the industry beyond Dusit International, said: “Thailand’s tourism and MICE sectors have always progressed through strong collaboration between passionate individuals in both the public and private sectors. Leaders who contribute beyond their own organizations play an important role in strengthening the industry for the future, and we believe that supporting those types of contributions remains essential for the long-term development of Thailand’s hospitality ecosystem.”
Established by TCEB, the Thailand MICE Legacy Awards honor leaders, pioneers and industry figures whose dedication and vision have helped shape Thailand’s MICE industry over decades, recognizing contributions at meetings, exhibitions, conferences and the broader development of the country’s MICE industry.
