KRABI, 12th August 2019 (NNT) - The Minister of Tourism and Sports has met with tourism business operators from the private sector in Krabi to hear comments and jointly develop tourism opportunities.

 

Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn was accompanied by a team of officials on the visit to Krabi to meet the administators of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Krabi Provincial Industry Council and the Executive Board of the Krabi Chamber of Commerce.

 

Mr Phiphat said Krabi is ready for the further development of its products, services and beautiful marine and inland tourist attractions that are now world-renowned. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is working with various ministries to increase the number of domestic and international flights to Krabi Airport, connect inland tourism routes throughout the provinces of the southern region especially the Andaman coastal provinces, and promote maritime tourism focusing on groups of tourists with high spending capacity. The emphasis is mainly on the safety of tourists and a high standard of service.

For their own safety!

Hate to tell the honorable Tourist Minister but we went to Krabi.  Tons of plastic, rubbish on the beach.  A few resorts made an effort to clean the beach in front each morning but it was a Band-Aid.  Just back from Australia - pristine beaches but we ban plastic and impose heavy fines for rubbishing.  Thailand - Clean up your filthy environment and the tourists may return and start spending again.  

Krabi has gone from overcrowded and overpriced—to overcrowded and WAY overpriced.
