Franchise watch: Investors set to flock to Thailand’s premier franchise exposition

The popularity of the franchise business model in ASEAN continues to grow, as can be seen from the rising number of new outlets and the entry of new players into the Thailand and ASEAN markets. More new franchise brands enter the market every year, while existing ones successfully manage to expand their businesses in domestic and international territories.

As the biggest international franchise and business opportunities show in ASEAN, the Thailand Franchise & Business Opportunities 2020 (TFBO) will serve as a highly effective platform between franchise brand owners and investors from Thailand and international markets.

Kavin Kittiboonya, managing director of Kavin Intertrade and the show organizer, has revealed that TFBO 2020 will offer more than 10 franchise business categories for entrepreneurs who are looking to explore new investment opportunities boasting high returns.

Kittiboonya suggests investors grab this once-a-year opportunity to meet with over 100 franchisors to discuss their business models and find out more about their franchise’s return on investment.

“We intend to open this platform between franchisors and investors for dialogue and exchange of information. We also offer seminars to provide knowledge for startups and investors,” he said.

It is recommended that visitors pre-register online to receive regular show updates and to make advance appointments with exhibitors to maximize their trip.

• Thailand and ASEAN have a combined 660 million population and bright growth potential for international franchise brands

• Thailand alone has approximately 160 brands with over 14,000 outlets

• Almost 70 per cent of local exhibitors return to the show every year
