The Skål International Thailand Annual Forum 2024, held in Chiang Mai in December, brought together tourism leaders from Thailand, Asia, and the US.
A key moment was the ceremonial exchange of presidential chains, with Skål Thailand acting national president Shana Kongnum handing over the chain to incoming president Eddy Brosse. Brosse then passed his chain to Bas van Straten, the new president of Skål Phuket, and Sittipong Wongsomboon took over as president of Skål Chiang Mai from Vorapot Chutima.
The event included workshops on Skål’s revised statutes, membership benefits, and its mission in a changing world. Members also explored marketing strategies for the tourism industry, sustainable practices, and professional development.
Skål International provides members with networking opportunities, global events, and resources for growth, including new training videos and podcasts on leadership and empowerment available through their website and app.
