Bangkok (Thailand) – August 17, 2018 (travelindex) – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is inviting the public to create a network of supporters for local communities as part of its sustainability initiative, “TAT Gift for Local.” The campaign allows users to vote for their favorite community on the website and thus promote its development.

The five municipalities are: 1. Ban Don Kai Dee (Benjarong Village) in Samut Sakhon Province, 2. Thale Noi in Phatthalung Province, 3. Ban Nam Chiao in Trat Province, 4. Ban Pone in Kalasin Province and 5. Ban Huai Hee in Mae Hong Son Province.

In addition, one participant will have the chance to win a special prize. The municipalities with the most votes will have the opportunity to further develop their regions through TAT's community activities. The three winning municipalities will be added to the list of municipalities whose development Social Giver will continue to support.

The TAT firmly believes that this activity will encourage the general public to develop tourism and increase the value of tourism in communities in order to generate revenue for the local economy in line with government guidelines.
