Play
Yuthasak Supasorn was confirmed on Monday as |the new governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
He will be the first candidate from outside the TAT to head the national tourism agency in its 55-year history.
The selection committee, chaired by Jarin Chakkaphark, deputy permanent secretary of the Interior Ministry, took weeks investigating the |candidate’s qualifications after receiving complaints from TAT’s staff, citing his lack of direct experience in the hospitality and tourism business and his past failures in managing other organisations.
In June, Jarin said Yuthasak had defeated all internal candidates and won the race for the top post.
