The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has signed agreements with South Korean tour operators to expand tourism cooperation between the two nations.
The agreements were signed during TAT Governor Yuthasak Supasorn’s recent visit to Seoul, South Korea on December 19, 2022.
The authority signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Korean Association of Travel Agents (KATA) to exchange information, encourage visitor traffic, establish new emerging market sectors and provide assistance to both parties.
For their part, TAT and SOOBAK signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote Thai tourism products and services through the use of NFTs. Various incentives and agreements will be offered in line with the kingdom’s goal of using new technologies and establishing a “tourism ecosystem” for a more sustainable industry.
