If we can hold the event to establish reliability and to indicate our excellence in services, including food, beverage, cleanliness and other services in the room, I think the event will help upgrade our tourism, not only in Pattaya, but at the country level, from the perception of foreign tourists.”
This is the 7th event being held, hence assuring that the event has been well accepted by people in the tourism industry. It can help develop personnel, establishing excellent service standards to be used as a benchmark for quality tourism promotion which emphasizes tourism personnel in Thailand.

As a result, the organization of “Pattaya Food & Hoteliers Expo’13” is a part of development in terms of professional expertise, skills, capabilities, as well as hotel personnel, in order to be prepared for the upcoming AEC and to enable Thailand to be in an honorable position at that time.
