Ms. Natiya Suchinda, Deputy Director-General of the Department of International Trade Promotion, stated, "After the COVID-19 situation has eased, trade and tourism activities have returned to normal, and we see the revival of businesses related to the HoReCa industry, including hotels, restaurants, and catering. The demands in this industry are significantly increasing, and from this positive trend, it is a great opportunity for Thailand, which has high potential and strengths. Being a top global tourist destination, the country is renowned for hospitality and Thai-style service. Thailand distinguishes itself in several areas, including the high-quality offerings from product and service providers, along with the presence of innovative designers who enhance the uniqueness of HoReCa products and services. These factors enable the Thai HoReCa industry to effectively cater to the diverse demands of the market. Based on the past success of collaboration of the three organizing parties in organizing THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA, we are confident that THAIFEX – HOREC ASIA will unlock the future of the HoReCa industry and establish Thailand as the center of HoReCa businesses of Asia. The fair will feature products and services from more than 300 companies from 24 countries, including Thailand, in 722 booths. Occupying a space of 27,000 square meters, the fair will cover 9 HoReCa segments, namely Bakery & Ice Cream, Cafe & Bar, Bakery and Ice Cream, Café and Bar, Cleaning and Laundry, Dining, Furnishing, Kitchen, Services, Tech and Wellness. It is expected to attract 20,000 buyers and visitors worldwide.”
