BANGKOK, 23 October 2014 The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is now aiming to improve tourism services before the arrival of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) next year.
The ministry has also sought cooperation from the government sector and tourism business operators to bolster their transportation services.
Air, land, and water transport services are poised to be improved in order to assure safety for tourists. Tourists will also be able to use an electronic pass, which is a ticket that will allow them to gain access to many tourist attractions throughout Thailand.
The ministry is also planning to develop the tourism database system to help tourists find legitimate tour guides. Tourist police have been cracking down on illegal tour guides recently and the agencies will be required to hire certified guides.
