I am sure that Thailand tourism will be back to be a world-leading attraction in the near future.”
“The Thai government is also trying to support new tourism styles such as conservation tourism and local domestic tourism. The local economy and long-term tourism will be developed at the same time that the environment is being preserved. The future of world tourism has rapidly changed, is uncertain, and challenging. Tourism strategies need to be designed for high-quality tourism.”
“’SMILES’ strategy is a model of the brainstorming in the congress as Thailand is ready to be an importantt balanced and sustainable tourism destination. S – Sustainability, M – Manpower , I – Inclusive Economy, L – Localization, E – Ecosystems S – Social Innovation.”
