  3. SARS Impact and Come Back Strategies

  4. SARS Impact • Thailand was not an effected country and had no in-country transmission of SARS; • Impact on the Thai Exhibition Industry was relatively small.

  5. Why small Impact? Two key reasons: • There were not many International Exhibitors during the key period of April to June; • Thai government responded quickly and effectively to the treat of SARS to boost confidence in business and travel.

  6. Low Level of Impact • Existing shows: Number of overseas trade visitors decreased by ~25-30%; • Existing shows: The sizes of the shows decreased. Oversea exhibitors cancelled ~ 5-20% of the reserved areas; • New shows: They have been postponed.

  7. Actions • The government will continue to boost confidence and minimize the concerns of travelers and businessman; • TEA will continue to provide useful information for exhibitors and full support to Thai government. Now, the confidence among exhibitors and visitors have begun to rise.
