We are ready in all aspects to offer warm and welcoming hospitality to all attendees at the event to ensure that APEC 2022 will be a memorable achievement that brings pride to Thai people and the nation,” Sakchai said.

Positioned to be “The Ultimate Inspiring World Class Event Platform for All”, QSNCC confirmed its full readiness to host APEC 2022 with the high capacity of space and a comprehensive range of facilities to support world-class events thanks to an area of 300,000 square meters and cutting-edge technologies for a wide range of events.
