Most of its clients are MICE events, concerts, and other events. Its marketing strategy has been designed under the framework called MICE3 - E3 refers to E = Exhibition, E=Entertainment and E=Event. Each year, its business grew as high as 10% on average over the past decade.
“To celebrate our 10th anniversary, Royal Paragon Hall will continue to move forward, following the Siam Piwat’s corporate vision of ‘The Icon of Innovative Lifestyle’. In line with this vision, Royal Paragon Hall will focus on being an innovation leader in providing unparalleled experiences to visitors. We want to create something new and unique to elevate Thailand’s MICE industry to another level.” Mr. Talun said.
To become “The World-Class Venue in the Heart of Bangkok”, Royal Paragon Hall announced its strategies which include attracting more foreign clients by conducting more marketing communications activities in targeted countries with the goal to shift its local and international client ratio from 80:20 to 70:30 this year. It also has Partnership Reward Program to reward existing clients and convince them to continue the partnership. This year, Royal Paragon Hall aims to grow by 15%, generating 250 million baht – 30% from exhibition, 30% from entertainment, 20% from special events and 20% from meeting and banquet.
Moreover, to be the leader of the MICE industry in Thailand and to cater to all types of events, Royal Paragon Hall has launched its own organizer service. The one-stop service aims to better facilitate clients and to improve service efficiency.
For this year’s first phase investment, Royal Paragon Hall has invested 50 million baht in venue renovation and personnel development with the aim to elevate the image of the venue, adding more luxury and modernity. The logo of Royal Paragon Hall has been changed into gold color to reflect its world-class status. The lights were also changed into LED lights, which not only save energy but also create a new ambience for clients. In addition, the lighting system at Royal Paragon Hall is distinctively different from that of other venues in Thailand as they can change color and can be controlled individually, whereas other venues can only switch on and off the whole batch at the same time. By being the first venue in Thailand to utilize this system, Royal Paragon Hall can offer innovation that caters to its clients’ creative needs. For personnel development, the management team has been trained in the Certified in Exhibition Management (CEM) program, which is a globally recognized program in the MICE industry.

A seminar titled “Trend: Creative for Iconic Events” was held, inviting Nopparat Maythaveekulchai, President of Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) and Dario Cherubino from Azimut, an expert in organizing unique and creative events from Italy. The speakers shared their ideas and experience with the audience that included those working in the MICE and tourism industry as well as MICE students on March 14, 2016 at Royal Paragon Hall.
