The bureau has developed a digital service and supported the organizers in adopting digital technology for the events. Moreover, the bureau is studying the setting up of a One-Stop Service for the MICE industry. Finally, organizational efficiency will be developed comparable to the international system.

(3) To distribute income and prosperity. The TCEB will upgrade events in MICE Cities, and promote marketing activities along with road shows in CLMV (Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar, Vietnam)/GMS (Greater Mekong Sub-region) and SEZ (Special Economic Zone).

There is plenty to choose from. But employees say that. "The menu that customers like to order is Roti Green Curry", but some people may not like food cooked with coconut milk. I may choose another menu, such as salmon, fried pork, lamb chili with vegetables. Spicy squid stuffed with tomatoes or yams.
