Registration network for tour guides

In a major move to promote the development of the industry, the Tourism Department has set up a network of 15 regional offices in major parts of the country to facilitate the registration of tour guides, tour-leader licences, and tour agencies.

The newly established network comprises one office in Bangkok, three in the Central region, one in the Eastern region, three in the Northern region, three in the Northeast, and four in the South.
All 15 regional offices come under the supervision of the Central Tourism Registration Office in Bangkok. Acting Second Lieutenant Arnupap Gaesornsuwan, director-general of the department, said the new offices would significantly improve the registration and control of tourism-related businesses and individuals.
