To highlight the Discover Thainess campaign, 12 “hidden gems” will be showcased at TTM+. These are emerging new destinations renowned for their unique history, culture and lifestyle that tourists must not miss, especially repeat travellers.
The official programme will begin on 3rd June, 2015, with buyers, sellers and media registration, a forum for buyers and sellers and a welcome reception. . In addition, on 3rd June, TAT will also create a seller’s forum under the topic of “Uniqueness is the Key” by Mr. Matthew Zatto, Tripadvisor Singapore.
