BANGKOK, THAILAND - More than 500 delegates, including many of Thai tourism and hospitality’s most senior figures, came together at the 11th Thailand Tourism Forum (TTF 2022) on 1st March 2022, with the aim of charting a strong and sustainable path out of the global pandemic.

 

TTF 2022, Thailand’s largest annual tourism and hospitality event, taking place as the industry grapples with an unprecedented period of crisis, opportunity, threat and disruption, ran under the theme #ThaiTourismUnited and kicked off with the Thailand Tourism Leadership Summit, which saw influential CEOs set out their joint vision for the future and jointly sign the Thailand Tourism Pledge.

 

Together, these leaders committed to forging a new strategic direction for Thailand, including placing tourism at the forefront of the national economy, putting the service sector back to work, achieving sustainable growth, and making international visitors feel safe and secure. The Thailand Tourism Pledge will lay the foundations upon which Thai tourism can be rebuilt from the ground up, following the devastation of the global pandemic.

Maybe some strong minded people around the world will remember Thailand for not even condemning Russia, and take their holidays somewhere else?

With their ongoing nutacsery, I predict 3-4 million at most , and only 5% of those being actual tourists.

 

Until entry is the same as prior to the pandemic, they are blowing in the wind.

'Signing the Pledge' means avoiding all alcohol.  Considering Thailand's Conservative Government only teetotal tourists will be allowed in.
