Tobacco event not supported
The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) insists the tobacco conference TABINFO Asia 2009 is being hosted without the agency's support, president Akapol Sorasuchart said.
In a statement, he added that the agency had no authority to stop any conference in Thailand and it would learn of any event only when the organiser contacts the TCEB for support.
The organiser contacted the agency in 2008 for support, but it refused as tobacco is not a tobepromoted industry and poses health concerns. The Public Health Ministry also instructed the agency not to provide support.
