Thailand launches agricultural tourism promotion project

The Bangkok Tourism Authority has decided to boost the country's popularity with an unusual project. It will be focused on those categories of travelers who would like to learn more about the agro-industrial complex of the country. In addition, officials sincerely hope that the proceeds will help improve the economic situation of poor rural communities.

The villages are located along the Mahasawat canal, where all conditions are created for growing fruits, rice, huge plantations of orchids. The local ponds are decorated with thousands of blooming lotuses. Guests will be offered to take a boat ride along the canal, visit local gardens and get acquainted with the unusual technique of growing agricultural products, which has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries.

In a special Ban Saladin center, all guests will be invited to take part in the preparation of national dishes, as well as learn the craft. The organizers are convinced that such an unusual tourist project will allow guests of Bangkok to look at other aspects of Thai life, feel their traditions and learn about the oldest customs. After all, it is the farming communities that are the main unit of Thai society.

In addition to the walk itself, guests will be able to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at the lowest prices, which will allow farmers to receive an additional source of income.

Recall that the “agricultural project” is not the only program to promote Thailand among tourists. There are other similar projects aimed at attracting tourists from all over the world.
