This document summarizes the Tourism Authority of Thailand's regional partnership strategy presented at ITE HCMC 2013. Some key points:
- The ASEAN Economic Community will launch in 2015, increasing tourism flows within ASEAN through measures like single visas and infrastructure development. This creates opportunities for Thailand.
- Thailand has good air, land, and river connectivity to other ASEAN countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia. Low-cost carriers have expanded flight routes.
- Joint tourism products are being developed that combine destinations across borders in Thailand and neighboring countries.
