The announcement was made on the 5th of January 2026 and outlines a five-year framework guiding the Thai MICE industry toward carbon neutrality and a net zero carbon future. The target builds on recent progress and formalises sustainability as a core element of event development in Thailand.

TCEB advances carbon neutrality in the Thai MICE industry

In the 2025 fiscal year, the Thai MICE industry collectively reduced and avoided 2,445.97 tons of CO₂ across 232 events, compared with 780 tons of CO₂ in the previous year. To support further reductions, TCEB has updated its requirements for event bids, obliging organisers to plan carbon-neutral events, calculate their carbon footprint and implement mitigation or offsetting measures. TCEB also provides tools such as carbon calculation applications, verification networks and access to domestic carbon credit projects to support organisers in meeting sustainability targets and aligning events with international sustainability expectations.
