Tourism Ministry seeks support from Alibaba
The Ministry of Tourism and Sports will hold talks with Alibaba Group Friday on its support for tourism in this country and the possibility of using the group’s Alipay platform for an e-visa system.
Tourism and Sports Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul said that after meeting with Alibaba on Wednesday, the ministry would ask the company to use its website to inform its customers about quality services available in Thailand, particularly licensed hotels and business providers that meet local standards.
The ministry will also ask Alibaba to get more clarification from the Bank of Thailand on the legal obligations for the use of Alipay here.
