essage from the Governor Tourism Authority of Thailand
Over the years, Thailand’s tourism industry has
increasingly developed to become and maintain a leadership
role within the region. As a consequence of the successful
public relations and promotions of our country’s tourism
campaigns, tourists worldwide have grown to know more
about what Thailand has to offer them; furthermore, this has
set a model for the regional tourism industry. However, all of
our accomplishments would not have been achieved without
the determined support from various stakeholders including
individuals, organizations, travel agencies, media, as well as airlines, who are
regarded as Friends of Thailand.
With this in mind, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) initiated the Friends
of Thailand Programme in 1996, to convey its gratitude and recognition for the
hard-earned endeavors and endless efforts that these people and organizations
have devoted in publicizing the positive image of Thailand. Despite the various
obstacles that our country have experienced, our global Friends of Thailand have
always continued to unceasingly provide their support and assistance to work with
TAT in assuring that tourists are aware of the tourism situation with up-to-date and
accurate information. Therefore, the Friends of Thailand Programme has been
maintained and realized until the present, which will be the 8th time. In addition, for
this year, the Friends of Thailand Awards will be presented to the Awards recipients
at the Welcome Reception of the Thailand Travel Mart + 2013 on June 5, 2013.

TAT has realized and appreciates the productivity of both Thai and foreign
organizations and individuals, which has generated many benefits for the country’s
national tourism industry through the receiving of numerous international awards
and rankings as a popular tourist destination. This in turn has also played a
significant role in enhancing the national economy through the generation of
employment opportunities and income as well as supported the Thai people’s way
of life. Our Friends of Thailand also include stakeholders who are concerned about
the conservation of the environment, culture, and national identity that will enable
Thailand to retain its status as a leader of the region’s tourism industry.
Therefore, on behalf of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, I would like to offer
my heartfelt congratulation to all awardees as well as express my deep appreciation
towards our numerous other Friends of Thailand worldwide for their ongoing
friendship and kindness toward Thailand and the Thai people. Furthermore, I am
also grateful to all committee members and supporters whose great contribution
has assisted in the success of this awards presentation ceremony. In closing,
I would like to wish you all good health, success, and prosperity in all your future
endeavors.
