Tourism Authority of Thailand Announces Inaugural Collaboration with Tourism Cares - TRAVELINDEXBangkok, Thailand, March 19, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is excited to announce its inaugural partnership with Tourism Cares, a U.S.-based non-pro t organization dedicated to advancing sustainability within the travel and tourism industry). This collaboration stems from a strong belief in the travel sector’s ability to create positive social, environmental, and economic impacts.

Focused on advancing Thailand’s tourism sustainability, TAT has implemented various initiatives to realize its Sustainable Tourism Goals (STG). Examples include standardization programs such as STARS, CF Hotels, Green Leaves, and Thailand Tourism Awards (TTA), aimed at motivating Thai suppliers to incorporate sustainable practices.

Within the US Market, TAT has partnered with Tourism Cares, an organization that has been a catalyst for positive change for more than two decades. They bring together global stakeholders in the tourism industry to contribute to the well-being of local communities through various initiatives, including programming, education, and resources.

“TAT is delighted to collaborate with Tourism Cares, as we share the common vision that travel can o er meaningful experiences for travelers and the people and communities they visit. By becoming a destination partner of Tourism Cares, we believe that Thai tourism businesses will gain valuable insights into the preferences of U.S. travelers when it comes to sustainable trips. This partnership will enable us to enhance our o erings and better meet the needs of these conscious travelers,” stated Mr. Siripakorn Cheawsamoot, Deputy Governor for Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.

In 2023, Thailand welcomed approximately 930,000 US travelers, an increase of 112% (post covid) from the previous year. US travelers seek a unique experience that profoundly connects with local communities. In 2024, the Tourism Authority of Thailand anticipates that the country will accrue a combined tourism revenue ranging from approximately 1.54 to 1.92 billion Baht from the international market and 0.86 to 1.08 billion Baht from the domestic market as part of the base case scenario.

To help the travel trade and sustainably-minded travelers quickly source a list of vetted, sustainable organizations making positive social and environmental impacts in destinations, the TAT has collaborated on the Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Map of Thailand by adding 15 Impact Partners, with more to come. The Map can be viewed at https://www.tourismcares.org/thailand.

Mr. John Sutherland, Senior Director of Community Impact at Tourism Cares, expressed enthusiasm about the organization’s venture into Southeast Asia, marking this as a signi cant collaboration with Thailand. He recognized Thailand’s prominent position in the region’s sustainability e orts and highlighted the potential observed during the recent Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel FAM with Thailand.

“Throughout the past week, we actively interacted with local authorities, individuals, and communities, fostering meaningful exchanges of ideas to ensure that travel is used as a force for good. The partnership between Tourism Cares and TAT is poised to introduce sustainable Thai products and services to the U.S. markets to help positively impact Thailand’s people and places.”

From March 6th-14th, 2024, TAT and Tourism Cares organized the “Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel FAM with Thailand.” Together, they brought 14 representatives from various tourism industry sectors to Thailand, meaningful experiences such as engaging with local Thai business operators and communities in Bangkok and Krabi.

TAT Deputy Governor, Mr. Cheawsamoot emphasized that “ by placing sustainability at the heart of our strategies, a sustainable trip as this would not be possible without a means of sustainable transportation. We are delighted to continue our partnership with Delta Air Lines and Korean Air for a second consecutive year after the Feel Thailand with Delta Air Lines campaign launch in 2022. The accessibility for U.S. travelers to Thailand through the initiative made travel seamless and lessened the stress often accompanying an international journey. This year, we are advancing our e orts to ensure that this accessibility evolves into a more responsible mode of travel for every customer’s journey.”

view sustainability not as an option but as a way of life. Individuals do not need to trade luxury for sustainability, as we smoothly integrate both. We are enthusiastic about extending our partnership with Thailand and take great pride in having Thailand as an integral part of our Delta Sustainability Program.”

Following the announcement of the collaboration between TAT and Tourism Cares, an educational session was held at the Peninsula Bangkok Hotel for a Thai audience of business operators in the tourism sector. The agenda featured a presentation by Tourism Cares and a panel discussion on “Crafting a Sustainable Thailand Trip Tailored to the US Travel Market,” led by key figures from the public and private sectors of the tourism industry. The session concluded with a networking opportunity for FAM participants and Thai suppliers. .

Tanah Gajah Highlighs Local Bali Businesses

 900 574 wttc2
By:

Tanah Gajah Highlighs Local Bali Businesses - TRAVELNEWSHUB.comTanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana, has deep roots in Indonesia’s creative scene. The founder of the property opened the country’s first art gallery over sixty years ago. Moving past the sculptures and paintings it’s known for, the resort is embracing another kind of creativity – culinary arts, with events that showcase talented local entrepreneurs and bring people together.

Inspired by International Women’s Day, the March 16th event ‘Bird Lounge Beats & Oriental Treats’ is a collaboration between craft cocktail bar Moonsipper Club, Tanah Gajah, and artisan noodle shop Kedai Hou Ah, all of which are run by women. Tanah Gajah’s general manager Deasy Swandarini was born and raised on the island. Even Chef Dean, behind The Tempayan restaurant at Tanah Gajah, will be serving up dishes passed down from his mother for the one night event.

Running from 5-8pm the sunset Soirée will include oriental-inspired cocktails from Sherrine Budiman’s hip cocktail bar, noodle dishes by the friends Nydia Orlatta and Regina Nalasetya behind Kedai Hou Ah, and dishes highlighting Chef Dean’s Singaporean roots. There will be live music and the resort’s Bird Lounge, a creative gathering space near The Tempayan, will be transformed with cultural ornaments and the addition of picnic-style seating allowing guests to spread out and enjoy the surrounding green space. Guests who arrive early will have the chance to win a one-of-a-kind hot air balloon ride.

Sherrine’s business acumen combined with her innovative spirit have led her to create several successful ventures including a boutique hotel, Flock restaurant in Ubud, and a daycare center. Tempakultura, a creative haven in Bali advocating for various causes (including animal welfare and women empowerment) was launched during the pandemic. Moon Sipper Club, inspired by a love of mixology that blossomed during her time in Canada, is one of her more recent endeavors but she didn’t stop there. In recent weeks she launched a hip cafe and taproom called Old Pals, with a lifelong friend.

Kedai Hou Ah was also born out of friendship and a craving to recreate the noodle dishes Nydia and Regina shared with their family in Jakarta.

“In many households, recipes are heirlooms that are well-kept and passed down through generations,” explained the duo. “We embrace our culture through food, take our time to understand it, and share what we have learned.”

Following on from the March experience, the next Sensory Soirée ‘Sunny Bites & Cool Delights,’ will take place in June. It will be a summer gastronomy festival highlighting unique local brands, wine, spirits, and locally sourced produce.

For Indonesia’s Independence Day on August 17th Tanah Gajah will host ‘Threads of Tradition and Tea Tastings,’ that will introduce traditional tenun fabric from Gianyar and artisan jewelry. A selection of teas and afternoon tea treats that showcase the country’s heritage will also be on offer.

UN Tourism and WTCF Advance Data-Driven Approach to City Tourism - TRAVELINDEXMadrid, Spain, March 15, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / UN Tourism and the World Tourism Cities Federation (WTCF) have launched a new report highlighting the need to measure the social and environmental impact of tourism on urban destinations.

The report assesses into the current situation and challenges of tourism data at the city level. The analysis will help advance the creation of global database of urban tourism, enabling better understanding and benchmarking of its size and value, both globally and by region.

More and better data needed

The new report provides an overview of the current situation of tourism data collection and reporting in 22 destinations in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. The study:

  • Identifies existing indicators and relevant data, highlighting the efforts taken to pave the path towards a creation of a global urban tourism database.
  • Addresses the importance of measuring impacts beyond the economic factors and adding the socio-cultural and environmental dimensions of city tourism.
  • Provides an overview of the potential use of big data for measuring urban tourism, including the main challenges, with a view to enhancing key elements of a smart destination including technology and governance.

The report was launched during the 2024 edition of the leading global travel and tourism trade fair, ITB Berlin

Towards a global urban tourism database

UN Tourism, with the support of the the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and other parties, is leading the development of a Statistical Framework for Measuring the Sustainability of Tourism (SF-MST). This will develop a common approach to building harmonized data at the national and subnational level to support the analysis of tourism activity and its sustainability at all scales.

To date, the UN Tourism International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories has played a crucial role in helping destinations in its endeavours towards monitoring and evaluating the economic, environmental and social impacts of tourism fostering sustainable tourism practices locally and globally.

VGC Clubs Step Up to the Plate for Major Tournaments

 900 506 wttc2
By:

VGC Clubs Step Up to the Plate for Major Tournaments - TRAVELNEWSHUB.comWorld Lefthanded Championship and Faldo Series Final prove Central Vietnam’s event credentials. Central Vietnam’s pedigree as a stage for major golf occasions will once again be showcased next month as it plays host to two top-level events.

First up in April is the 2024 World Lefthanded Golf Championship, which unfolds over three of the region’s signature golf clubs between 7 and 13 April.

Focus will then turn to Asia’s bright young talent later in the month when Laguna Golf Lang Co, designed by Sir Nick Faldo, stages the 15th Faldo Series Asia Grand Final.

“Central Vietnam is proving that it has all the ingredients to be considered as a top destination for tournaments in Asia,” said Gary Dixon, general manager at Ba Na Hills Golf Club, one of the driving forces in the Vietnam Golf Coast, a destination marketing effort linking the region’s signature clubs.

“Many destinations around the world were in the running to host the 2024 World Lefthanded Golf Championship. But Central Vietnam won out due to its selection of top-class golf clubs as well as its diverse culture, luxury lodging and great range of off-course activities for golfers and their families.”

In recent years Central Vietnam has emerged as a hub for golf in Southeast Asia thanks to layouts designed by luminaries including European legends Faldo, Luke Donald (Ba Na Hills Golf Club), and Colin Montgomerie (Montgomerie Links), as well as other huge names like Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones Jr.

And the destination will be firmly in the spotlight during April as it proves its credentials as a big-time player when it comes to hosting top-level events.

The World Lefthanded Golf Championship has made some familiar pitstops since its debut outing in 1979, when it was played in Sydney, Australia. Over the years it has been staged at prestigious clubs including PGA National in Florida and Scotscraig and Monifieth in Scotland, both British Open qualifying courses.

And Central Vietnam will be the latest illustrious stage for the tournament in April when 250 participants from nations around the globe will battle it out over three of the region’s signature clubs—one being Ba Na Hills Golf Club—as they bid for the crown.

The event will be swiftly followed by the equally eagerly anticipated Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, which takes place at the end of April.

The final, the culmination of the Asia leg of the world’s most celebrated junior circuits, promises to be a spectacular celebration of emerging regional golf talent. It will see the best young golfers from around the region battle it out over the award-winning Sir Nick Faldo Signature Design at Laguna Golf Lang Co for the crown of Faldo Series Asia champion.

“I could not be more excited to be returning to Central Vietnam for another Faldo Series Asia Grand Final”, said Faldo, who attends Faldo Series Grand Final events and will jet into Vietnam in April. “I expect nothing short of a thrilling showdown. The course always produces a spectacular showcase, and I’m excited to welcome back all the players for what I expect to be a truly memorable occasion.”

The forthcoming big events once again highlight Central Vietnam’s incredible potential as a golf destination: a fact reflected not just by its championship clubs, but also by its enviable infrastructure.

“It’s a significant boost for the region to be able to attract events of this calibre,” stated Le Vo Hoang Van, the club manager at Montgomerie Links, where Colin Montgomerie has integrated traditional design features into an enticing course layout. “Nowhere else in Asia offers golfers such a remarkable cluster of world-class championship courses conveniently situated near an international airport.”
