On March 22, Ministry of Tourism and Sports Thailand Weerasak Kowsurat gave a special talk on “Smart City to enhance tourism” for participants from both public and private sectors who attended the Peacekeeping management course at the Skydome Resotel in Bangkok due to the latest efforts from Royal Thai government on fostering private smart city partnerships. Under a government plan to accelerate smart cities around the country, Thailand has called on private industry to launch ventures devoted to innovation, asset management and city development.
The initial phase of the plan is focused on the provinces of Phuket, Chiang Mai and Kon Kaen.
