The plan was unveiled by Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration (Dasta) on Friday.

“The three sites are Sukhothai Historical Park and Si Satchanalai Historical Park in Sukhothai province, which have the combined potential of generating Bt19.7 billion in five years, and the Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park in Kamphaeng Phet province, which can generate Bt10.3 billion in five years,” said Dasta director Athikhun Khongmee.

“Under this five-year plan, Dasta will use the budget of Bt712 million to implement 50 projects to improve the sites that have been announced as world heritage sites by Unesco to promote sustainable tourism,” he said. “We will adhere to the regulations of Global Sustainable Tourism Council [GSTC] to make sure the sites meet international standards.”
