A Milestone Year for Responsible Tourism

First introduced in 1996, the Thailand Tourism Awards are held biennially to promote quality standards and showcase Thailand’s diverse experiences to global audiences. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the 2025 edition unveiled the Thailand Tourism Sustainability Awards for the first time, spotlighting leadership in responsible tourism and aligning with the growing global focus on sustainability.

This year’s awards span five categories: tourist attractions, accommodation, health and wellness tourism, tour programmes, and tourism support and promotion of sustainable tourism. Entries were reviewed by a distinguished panel of experts against four criteria: product and service excellence; sustainable and responsible tourism management; business operations; and promotion of sustainable tourism.
