Tourism Dept uplifting standards of tourism

  The Department of Tourism is planning to revise Thai tourism products' and services’ standards. Travel entrepreneurs who pass the assessment will get promotional support from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). Department of Tourism Director-General Supol Sripan has revealed that the department is setting up new standard assessments for travel-related products and services to uplift the Thai tourism industry's standards. He said after the standard assessment procedure is finalized, the Thailand Council of Tourism will be responsible for inspection and evaluation. The TAT will then help promote tourism entrepreneurs who pass the assessment. Mr Supol expected the new evaluation to be used within next year, hoping it will help improve the standards of Thai tourism-related products and services. He anticipated that Thailand will earn 2 trillion baht from the tourism sector in 2015. From thainews
