Pattaya Unveils 'Twin City' Digital Platform for Global Event Planners
· 50-word read
In 50 words
Pattaya will showcase Pattaya Twin City, a satellite-mapped digital twin built with GISTDA, at ITB Asia 2026 in Singapore. Registered event planners can virtually explore venues, utilities, and live traffic and environmental conditions through links to the city's 3,000+ CCTV cameras. A second phase will add 3D venue interiors.
Why it matters
Pattaya is using smart-city technology to compete for MICE business. Planners can check a destination remotely before they commit, which could shorten decision cycles and give Pattaya an edge over rival Asian convention cities.
What's next
The first version debuts at ITB Asia, held at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore, from 21–23 October 2026. Phase 2 will add 3D interior views of individual venues once more data is collected.
