Membership Despite the ongoing challenges from second year of covid-19 pandemic, GTCC had successfully retained 526 active members in 2021. There were 462 members in Thailand (including 6 honourary members), plus 64 members in Germany and other countries. Among discontinued members, a significant number of them were terminated because 180 days-overdue membership fee invoices. The rest were SMEs whose operation in Thailand had been shut down or their German management had been replaced and selected members in the hospitality industry whose operations had been suspended or limited during strict covid-19 safety measures from April to October last year. The number of new members in 2021 was 48, among them 41 from Thailand and 7 from Germany and other countries. Among them, 26 were represented by Germans, 9 were represented by Thais, and 13 were represented by other nationalities. New members were introduced to GTCC via other chambers services such as business delegations, events, and member referrals. With the impact of second and third waves of covid-19 in 2021, new members and new representatives had been introduced to the community via GTCC Virtual Members Speed Networking in January and a series of newly introduced GTCC Open Forum from May to November. Even without physical events, the engagement between new and existing members could successfully continue with these virtual get-together format.
