TCEB Connections Plus 2011

25 July 2011

"Believe in Thailand" was the theme for this year's Connections Plus event, held by the Thailand Conventions and Events Bureau and executed by Standard Tour.  80 MICE delegates came to from worldwide to experience the best of what Thailand has to offer in meeting locations, exhibition halls, resort hotels, incentive ideas... and team building.

Throughout the 4-day event, CMRCA added energy and action with a series of engaging mini-programs.  The "Discover TCEB Exploration" showcased the historically decadent Ancient City while introducing the delegates to the Thailand Conventions and Events Bureau (TCEB) staff in an unforgettable fashion.  Our classic "Thailand Bus Quiz" kept everybody guessing during the drive from Bangkok to Hua Hin.  A hands-on CSR initiative at the Baan Khok Chang School and closing activities at a beach-side, sunset gala dinner rounded out the event.

It was a pleasure to participate in the continuing success of the MICE industry in Thailand through TCEB Connetions Plus.

Believe!

Extend One Finger for a Change in Perspective

29 April, 2011

CMRCA supported the Thailand Authority of Tourism (TAT) in delivering a one-hour networking and team building session to 30 of Beijing's top travel agents.

After several days of exploring the highlights of Chiang Mai's culture, nature, and hospitality, the group was keen to engage in some reflection and learn about the many opportunities for team building in Chiang Mai.

The take-home moment of the session was the laughter as participants struggled to balance peacock feathers on one finger -- which soon transferred to thoughtfulness as we considered how a simple change in perspective can lead to transformative clarity and steadiness.  CMRCA enjoyed working with this energetic group.  We look forward to welcoming Chinese groups to Chiang Mai in the near future!

Lights Out for Earth Hour

25 March 2011

Join CMRCA in celebrating the 4th annual Earth Hour on Saturday, March 26 by not using any electricity between 8:30 and 9:30 PM.

Earth Hour is a worldwide reminder of how much energy we consume on a daily basis.  It's also an opportunity to focus on what it means, and what it will take, to acheive a sustainable lifestyle.

What will you do on Saturday evening?  At CMRCA we'll climb in the dark on the bouldering wall behind our office.  We hope that you participate with us, and honor the fact that small, repeated, positive acts can have a profound impact on a global or a lifetime scale.
