Theme
“Shifting Tourism for the Post-Pandemic Era”
~How should Thailand and Japan work towards Quality Tourism?~
 
As tourism, which has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, is showing signs of revival, we will discuss how COVID-19 has changed tourists’ needs and what tourism stakeholders in Thailand and Japan should do in the future based on these changes. This symposium aims to promote Quality Tourism by sharing insights on sustainability-conscious measures described in the “Five-Year Joint Action Plan on Japan–Thailand Strategic Economic Partnership”. Correspondingly, it is expected to foster mutual understanding between Thailand and Japan.
