The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) yesterday revealed a deal to bring more tourists to the kingdom from the United States and boost the nation’s ailing economy.
TAT Governor Yuthasak Supasorn announced the state-sponsored industry organized an event this week, Feel Thailand with Delta Air Lines and Korean Air, to take 50 US tour operators to popular tourist destinations in Thailand to promote tourism.
“As the winter season begins in countries like the US, now is the perfect time to rediscover the wonders of Thailand. And now that Thailand is fully open to travelers, we want to showcase the new and perennial offerings of our country that serve to create a truly unforgettable holiday.
“This trip also forms part of our plans to stimulate travel from across all 50 US states to Thailand, ultimately helping us reach a tourism revenue target of 1.5 trillion baht in 2023 from the international market.”
The nine-day trip, which ends on Wednesday, November 9, includes visits to Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. The itinerary places a special emphasis on providing travel agents with the chance to discover the nation’s latest tourism products, learn about sustainable and responsible tourism practices, and meet with Thai sellers.
