The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is applauding digital travel platform Agoda, through its network of volunteers, for their tourism-related initiative aimed at helping local tourism businesses in Bangkok’s Talat Noi community to prepare to welcome back tourists.

Through a partnership with TAT and HiveSters, a social enterprise that aims to preserve and help Thai culture flourish by empowering local masters, Agoda brought volunteers from its Bangkok office to Talat Noi on Tuesday, 22 February and Friday, 25 February.

Over the two days, the volunteers shared their technology, photography, marketing, and design skills with the local community.

Mr. Siripakorn Cheawsamut, TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications, said, “Community-based tourism is an important element of the various Thailand tourism experiences on offer to visiting travellers, and TAT is delighted that Agoda is involved in further enhancing the promotion of tourism in the Talat Noi community.”
