Thailand: PH, Thailand launch exchange tourism deal
Friday, August 12, 2016 – THE Philippines and Thailand have launched an “exchange tourism” agreement to encourage more Thai tourists to visit the Philippines and vice versa.
“I realized that one would find their sceneries somewhat familiar to those that we have here but what struck me is the fact that we have a lot more to offer,” Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo said.
The tourism exchange developed during Teo’s four-day visit to Bangkok recently on the invitation of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) as part of the celebration of the 84th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.
Teo met with Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, the Thai Minister of Tourism and Sports, who offered that the two countries collaborate on farm tourism, youth development, and women and indigenous community projects.
During the working visit to “The Land of Smiles,” the DOT chief also met with the Thai Travel Agents Association (TTAA) at Tawana Ramada Hotel. Read More?
