Representatives of the Thai tourism industry have expressed their concern over a government plan to raise tourism revenue in the Kingdom to THB2 trillion. The tourism industry professionals have described the plan as “directionless” and bemoaned its lack of coordination.
The comments, which came from representatives of the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) and the Thai Hotel Association (THA), came in anticipation of a Jan. 31 seminar, called to discuss the government policy.
The Bangkok Post reports that finance minister Kittiratt Na Ranong has been invited to speak at the event, which will also include representatives from more than 500 tourism firms.
