Tourism Authority of Thailand officials are urging Eastern Seaboard residents to boost environmental conservation efforts to boost the country’s eco-tourism prospects.
At a March 25-27 “Traveling Across Thailand with a Camera” seminar in Trat, TAT Trat Director Woranit Kaiyarat said the authority’s Pattaya, Rayong, Chantaburi and Trat offices need to work more closely to link tourism-promotion efforts.
While eco-tourism might not attract as many people as Pattaya’s bars, it can drive substantial amounts of tourism, Woranit said.

In order to keep that sector strong, he said, residents need to work on sustainable tourism efforts and preserve the environment. Doing so benefits not only tourism, but the country as a whole, Woranit said.
