Curated Partner has launched a new suite of services designed to introduce global venue sourcing standards to Thailand’s outbound business events sector.
Ahead of its first anniversary this June, the travel consultancy is offering local corporations and planners direct access to a global inventory of more than 300,000 hotels and venues.
To streamline procurement, Curated Partner utilises an introductory sourcing model that operates without client service fees, drawing compensation instead from hotel commissions post-actualisation. The platform also provides VIP booking access to over 6,000 luxury properties alongside specialised experience design services.
The firm was founded by Juthamas “Kwan” Carranco, an industry veteran with over 25 years of luxury hospitality and event planning experience. She launched the consultancy to address a gap in the local market, where many planners still rely on traditional tour operators or approach foreign convention bureaus directly due to a lack of dedicated local alternatives.
“Thailand has lacked a dedicated player focused on global venue sourcing. Our goal is to move beyond relationship-based bookings towards a more structured, transparent, and strategic sourcing approach that empowers organisations to negotiate efficiently and on equal terms,” Juthamas noted.
This lack of structured sourcing often leaves local agencies vulnerable when navigating complex, technical international hotel contracts. Without deep commercial expertise, many planners default to price reduction as their primary negotiation tool – a tactic Juthamas warns can be counterproductive to securing long-term value and robust contractual protections.
“Our vision is not only to elevate sourcing standards in Thailand, but also to demonstrate that Thai hospitality expertise can confidently deliver world-class corporate travel and venue sourcing solutions on a global stage,” she stated.
