It is time to not only reveal the countries but also follow up with the specific destinations of the Seminar Abroad, which will take place from the 21st of March 2024 until the 6th of April 2024.   Given our multicultural project team, we wanted to take advantage of the diverse language skills of our team members. That is why we have chosen Brazil and Argentina to be the focus of this edition.   We will start our incredible journey in Argentina and visit the city of Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires not only is the capital city of Argentina, but it is also the country's political, cultural, commercial, and industrial centre. The city offers a captivating fusion of old-world elegance and contemporary dynamism, and its multicultural charm is reflected all across the city.🏙   The city's original name was Santa Maria del Buen Aire, which is translated to "Saint Mary of the Good Air". It was named by the Spanish explorer Pedro de Mendoza when he first arrived in 1536 because of the favourable weather conditions. The name has since evolved to Buenos Aires, which is translated to "good airs".🍃   The reason why we chose Argentina and specifically Buenos Aires for this year's project is because they have developed a National Digital Health Strategy to improve healthcare with the use of digital technologies. Further, they have also invested in Electronic Health Records which simplified the access to healthcare services, shrunk costs, and improved the overall quality of healthcare in Argentina. Especially with the pandemic, these investments have significantly increased and in some ways have already paid off. Nevertheless, while Argentina has great potential to become a leader in digital health in the region, it still faces enormous challenges, primarily with the digital divide and the lack of skilled healthcare workers and it will be fascinating to discover more on how the country is addressing those challenges.

Thailand's opportunity  to be the host of ICCA 2023, is emphasizing the potentials of MICE in Thailand. The International Congress and Convention Association or ICCA, is the world's major international association dedicated to the international association meetings industry. It consists of over 1,100 members in 100 countries worldwide and has organized continuous congresses for 62 editions. Thailand has been chosen as the host for the third time for The 62nd International Congress and Convention Association Congress 2023, following the first occasion in 1984 in Bangkok and in 2007 in Chonburi province. This year Thailand will host the congress with the concept of sustainability enhancement by organizing a carbon neutral event to avoid, reduce, and offset net carbon dioxide emissions to zero and emphasize Bangkok's environmental success. Being the host of the 62nd ICCA congress reinforces Thailand's image as an international conference destination, both quantity and quality. It enhances revenue generation and drives the country's economy and society forward. It also serves as a significant opportunity to drive the industry and the economy, aligning with the twenty-year strategic plan to move Bangkok forward as the 'vibrant heart of Asia' and opens doors to global business opportunities that enhance entrepreneurial capabilities and promote MICE and tourism in Thailand. The ICCA congress will be held on November 12-15, 2023. It is expected to contribute to the GDP impact of over 59 million baht, stimulate economic activity worth 105 million baht, and generate marketing value of more than 300 million baht. This serves as Thailand's economic stimulation and network expansion to position Thailand as a World community alongside ICCA.
