Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, chief marketing officer at CPN, said the campaign underscores Pride Month as both a celebration of human rights and a strategic driver of economic growth.

Thailand's LGBTQIAN+ tourism market is expected to generate 67 billion baht a year, with the global rainbow tourism sector projected to reach US$20 billion by 2032.

“Central malls have become safe and inclusive spaces for all. With more than 6 million LGBTQIAN+ individuals in Thailand and growing international interest, the rainbow economy could generate more than 150 billion baht annually,” he said.
