Martin Kelly's Bangkok debut for "No Vacancy" which was recently held in Bangkok's Dusit Thani hotel created a stir in the hospitality community.

Pairing hotels, distribution, technology and innovation into a fast paced, one day event was well conceived.

Familiar faces from the island included Andara, Paresa, Allamanda and HotelTravel.com along with chains such as Centara, Dusit and ACCOR.

Global outfits on hand were highlighted by Agoda, Wego and STR.

Leading hotel branding guru David Keen was on hand to talk about the launch of his new QUO strategy and of course expound on Brand Thailand.

Most participants talked openly about the prospects of next year's event being even bigger and better.
