TAT to propose extending Phase 4 of “We Travel Together” tourism program
13 Sept 11:19Key points summarised by AI
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will propose extending Phase 4 of the "We Travel Together" domestic tourism program until December to utilize residual funds and avoid launching a new phase.
The extension aims to encourage Thais, who might be considering international travel, to explore local destinations by offering new experiences and challenges.
The program provides significant benefits, including government subsidies of up to 40% on hotel rooms (max 3,000 baht/night) and air tickets, plus a 600-baht daily food coupon.
By the end of February, approximately 1.8 million of the two million entitlements for Phase 4 had already been registered, with hotels considering additional promotions for unused entitlements as tourism enters its low season.
