Significantly, the event will include a focus on Thailand’s change towards stronger and more sustainable, more responsible tourism growth, a transformation of Thai tourism that maintains the long-standing ‘Amazing Thailand’ branding.”

The TTM+ 2022 will provide an excellent platform for all participants, both sellers and buyers, to meet with current and potential business partners, as well as to reinforce their relationship with global travel specialists, introduce, update, and expand their business.
