The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is gearing up to host its annual session of Thailand Travel Mart Plus (TTM+) 2019 next month.
TAT has aligned this year’s event with new social, cultural and ecological transitions under way in the kingdom’s fastest growing foreign exchange earning industry.
Under the theme “Making the World a Better Place through Travel”, the TTM Talk will feature a line-up of 10 well-recognised experts who will cover a broad range of social, cultural, marketing, management and development topics of critical importance to many aspects of the past, present and future of Thai tourism.
The session will be held concurrently between 15.00-16.00 Hrs. on June 5, 2019, just before the start of doing business trade session of the Thailand Travel Mart Plus 2019 at the Ocean Marina Yacht Club Pattaya. This is the second consecutive year the TTM Plus will be held at the same venue.
Siripakorn Cheawsamoot, TAT Deputy Governor for Digital Research and Development said, “This year it was felt to be a good time to bring together 10 movers and shakers from a broad cross section of disciplines including tourism, media, education, agriculture and more, to present new perspectives, alternative practices, and inspiring stories that prove you truly can make the world a better place through travel.
“This is the first time that we have invited purely local personalities to share their insights and expertise at the TTM. It covers both a historic perspective of Thai tourism development, some of the key current challenges, and insights into many of the new strategies that will be required to develop a more sustainable tourism agenda in the future.”
