\u00a0The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is highlighting Thailand\u2019s position as a premier Muslim-friendly destination at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025, aligning with the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025 initiative.<\/p>\n

At the event, TAT announced new partnerships with key GCC-based airlines, including Emirates and Etihad Airways, to enhance connectivity and offer co-branded campaigns that showcase Thailand\u2019s wellness and luxury experiences. These initiatives aim to help TAT reach its 2025 target of over 1 million visitors from the Middle East and Africa (MEA).<\/p>\n

Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said: \u201cThailand is proud to offer an inclusive, seamless travel experience for Muslim travelers. We now have an extensive network of Halal-certified restaurants, prayer facilities at major airports and shopping centers, and luxury accommodations with private and gender-segregated amenities. We believe these features make Thailand a compelling choice for the Muslim travel market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tailored travel packages have been developed for families, honeymooners, and wellness seekers from the GCC region. These curated experiences focus on privacy, cultural exploration, shopping, and relaxation\u2014designed in line with the values and expectations of Muslim travelers.<\/p>\n

Thailand welcomed over 956,000 visitors from the MEA region in 2024, a 25.6% increase from the previous year. The country remains a top destination among high-spending travelers from the Middle East who seek longer stays and personalized itineraries.<\/p>\n

As part of its broader campaign, TAT is showcasing the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025 at ATM. The nationwide celebration features year-round festivals, global sporting events, and exclusive travel privileges. Key focus areas include sports tourism, wellness, culture, gastronomy, and luxury\u2014each offering immersive and personalized experiences that reflect Thailand\u2019s commitment to sustainable, creative, and innovative tourism.<\/p>\n

The campaign also highlights Thailand\u2019s \u201c5 Must-Do Experiences\u201d: Must Taste, Must Try, Must Buy, Must Seek, and Must See\u2014inviting travelers to delve deeper into the country\u2019s cultural richness beyond the typical tourist routes.<\/p>\n

Ms. Kiatphaibool added: \u201cThe Middle East is familiar with our iconic offerings, but we\u2019re excited to present new perspectives, including our Thai Craft Destinations concept and Hidden Gem Cities. These showcase authentic local craftsmanship, culture, and cuisine\u2014helping travelers discover the true essence of Thailand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TAT\u2019s efforts are underpinned by Thailand\u2019s sustainable tourism strategy, which follows the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economic model. This approach supports low-impact travel, community engagement, and cultural preservation, reinforcing Thailand\u2019s role as a leader in responsible tourism.<\/p>\n

Following ATM, a delegation of Thai representatives will conduct roadshows in Riyadh, Dammam, and Doha from 4\u20137 May, followed by visits to Casablanca and Amman. These initiatives aim to strengthen B2B engagement and solidify Thailand\u2019s presence in the GCC market.<\/p>\n
