The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) went all out with its support of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) at the latter’s Travel Mart (PTM) in Bangkok.

PATA hosted the 47th edition of PTM from 27-29 August, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). The annual event is regarded as one of Asia Pacific’s most prominent and longest standing international travel trade exhibitions.

TAT led a delegation of 16 exhibitors to the PTM, including hotels, tour operators, and related businesses. The Thailand Stand promoted sustainable tourism initiatives, including Thailand Tourism Awards winners, STAR-certified tourism products, 20 recommended low-carbon tourism routes, and a workshop on recycled plastic.

A fun-filled occasion

Marking this special occasion, TAT arranged a welcome reception where  PTM delegates experienced the fun and colourful atmosphere of a Thai temple fair firsthand. 

Likewise, the cocktail dinner was filled with fun activities, traditional Thai games, as well as art and cultural shows that included a traditional puppet show, a contemporary Thai music performance, and a Phi Ta Khon happy ghost dance.
