It is a part of a new,larger initiative by TCEB called I M People Focused (Incentives Meetings People Focused). This initiative- the result of an extended and in-depth dialogue between TCEB and industry partners- guided TCEB in crafting solutions that will bring success for meeting and incentive organisers as well as the organisations they serve because TCEB and partners believe in people and in responsible gathering and that business events are about sharing experience.

Under "Ease Up",TCEB has allocated USD 500,000 so that organisers can more effectively help their clients lower the cost of incentive travel and meetings.

DMCs and hotels have created high-value group packages for the campaign. 8 participating DMCs are offering complimentary airport transfers and a choice of local sightseeing,teambuilding or CSR activities. 54 hotels in Bangkok,Chiang Mai,Khao Yai,Rayong,Koh Samui,Phuket,Khao Lak,Krabi,Pattaya and Hua Hin will reward organisers with complimentary guestrooms. Terms and conditions apply for all "Ease Up" grants.
