In a bid to restore confidence in a sector hobbled by safety concerns, including grey businesses using Thailand as a transit hub, natural disasters and border disputes, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is under pressure to address negative perceptions.

The main challenge is addressing the root causes of these concerns.

The agency plans to kick off 2026 by leveraging the global fame of Thai pop star Lalisa Manoban, recently appointed as the "Amazing Thailand Ambassador", to promote tourism in the country.
