A community-based homestay project located in Sukhothai province was one of three PATA awards picked up by Thailand at the annual PATA conference held in Kuala Lumpur, April 19-21.
The “Ban Na Ton Chang Community” project won a PATA Gold Award in the Heritage category. The other two were the PATA Grand Award won by the Tourism Authority of Thailand for its environmental project, “7 Greens Concept” and another Gold Award won by the Organic Agriculture Project, Sukhothai Airport, in the Environment Ecotourism Category.
The awards were presented at a ceremony on April 21, 2012. Although the TAT and the Thai tourism industry often win awards for marketing campaigns, this is the first time that all PATA awards have been related to environmental and heritage projects and campaigns.
