Tourism Authority of Thailand officials are urging Eastern Seaboard residents to boost environmental conservation efforts to boost the country’s eco-tourism prospects.

At a March 25-27 “Traveling Across Thailand with a Camera” seminar in Trat, TAT Trat Director Woranit Kaiyarat said the authority’s Pattaya, Rayong, Chantaburi and Trat offices need to work more closely to link tourism-promotion efforts.

While eco-tourism might not attract as many people as Pattaya’s bars, it can drive substantial amounts of tourism, Woranit said.
