Exclusive interview with Anand Bhushan, Assistant Sales Manager (MICE & Leisure), Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld. Key Highlights: 1. Anand Bhushan works at Centara Grand at CentralWorld in Bangkok, the hotel hosting the event. It is part of Centara Hotels & Resorts. 2. He says Centara has hotels across Thailand, including Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket, and also in Dubai, Vietnam and other countries. 3. He says the hotel is known for MICE. It has 505 keys, about 55,000 sq ft of convention space, a 10,300 sq ft ballroom on the 23rd floor and many breakout rooms, in the city centre of Bangkok. 4. For corporate and MICE business, he is looking at India, the USA, Canada, CIS and other markets. 5. This year the hotel is focusing on the US market because many events keep coming and it hosted many corporate groups last year. He also names Singapore and China as markets whose buyers keep holding events with the hotel. 6. He says a new property is opening in Krabi. It was earlier a Centara-brand project and is now an ultra-luxury Reserve property. He says Centara Reserve Krabi may open in December this year. 7. He mentions the well-known Reserve in Samui and says Centara Grand Hua Hin is being renovated. He says two properties will launch this year after renovation. 8. He says some Centara hotels in other locations lack MICE facilities, so they serve leisure travellers and FITs. 9. He says they have worked with travel partners for decades and still want to meet new ones. He calls IT&CM Asia the biggest stage for this.
