Mr. Paul Kanjanapas, Chief Executive Officer of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd., the property manager of IMPACT Growth REIT, stated that the REIT achieved strong performance in fiscal year 2024/2025 (ending March 31, 2025), with dramatic growth in both revenue and profit. He highlighted that the overall performance in FY 2024/2025 showed remarkable growth in revenue, profit, and an increasing dividend payout. This reflects confidence in the business's potential and the robust recovery of the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) industry.
He also anticipates that 2025 will be a landmark year, bolstered by the opening of the extended Pink Line Skytrain, which will feature two new stations: IMPACT Muang Thong Thani Station (MT01) and Muang Thong Thani Lake Station (MT02). Additionally, the Sky Entrance, a direct walkway connecting Exit 3 of IMPACT Muang Thong Thani Station to Challenger Hall, is now open and ready to welcome visitors. This enhancement comes just in time for THAIFEX - ANUGA ASIA 2025, Asia's premier regional food trade show and the fourth-largest food industry exhibition in the world. Scheduled to take place from May 27-31, 2025, this major international event is expected to significantly increase foot traffic at IMPACT, attracting both MICE travelers and industry professionals from around the globe.
Furthermore, IMPACT is actively expanding its business opportunities through a partnership with Live Nation Entertainment, aiming to elevate the indoor concert experience to the largest in the country. This collaboration is set to pave the way for a fully integrated events and entertainment ecosystem. Currently, discussions and planning are underway, with expectations that this initiative will be a major driving force behind IMPACT's transformation this year. The move will enhance its competitive edge and establish Thailand as a premier destination for concerts and entertainment events in Asia.
