reader Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 From The Thaiger “Thailand Trusted Destination” is the latest campaign in a long line of schemes government authorities have launched as they attempt to lure international travellers back to Thailand, even amid Omicron uncertainty. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports launched the campaign in a bid to increase the standards of tourism in the country. The project aims to build confidence in travellers by certifying businesses that meet certain quality standards, allowing them to display the Thailand Trusted Destination dancing elephant logo. The Tourism Ministry hopes this will incentivise businesses and venues to bring their standards of management, cleanliness, safety, and fairness up. Businesses will also be evaluated on their eco-friendly practices. Tourists can identify attractions that have been certified with the dancing elephant logo by searching on the Thailand Tourism Standard Facebook page or their website at tts.dot.go.th though the site seems to not be quite functional yet. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tourism/thailand-trusted-destination-certification-aimed-at-luring-tourists daydreamer 1 Quote
Guest Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 I would have thought more tourists distrust the government and their ever changing COVID policies than businesses. As for gaining trust in private businesses, well independent customer reviews and recommendations work far better than some box ticking audit. Quote

No dancing elephant helps if admission process is complicated and prone to sudden changes - see premature and unnecessary death of " test and go scheme" which hopefully will be resurrected before Easter.
