Since 1960, the number of international tourist arrivals to Thailand has continued to grow at an excellent level. Thailand has been placed among the top 20 most popular tourist destinations in the world since 1990. Tourist numbers increased from 5.29 million in 1990 to 8.58 million in 1999. The Amazing Thailand 1998 - 1999 campaign was considered a success. It broke all records in terms of tourist arrivals and foreign exchange earnings. In 1999, tourism earned 253,018 million Baht(US$ 6,695.38 million) and accounted for 5.4% of the GDP. The target of international tourist arrivals for the year 2000 is expected to reach 9.5 million. The key factors contributed to the success of Thailand tourism are both the public-private partnership and the cooperation of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) with the public sector. Pooling of resources is a means of maximizing the marketing promotion budget. The tourism industry has clear linkages with many other industries, ranging from transportation and commerce to health and retail shopping. The TAT integrates all these various stakeholders into promotional campaign which create a win-win situation for all. At the same time, the TAT cooperates with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relax immigration regulations such as granting non-immigrant visa to senior tourists (55 years plus) to stay in Thailand up to 90 days. For aviation, Thailand pursues Open Sky policy to increase and facilitate incoming flights to Thailand. Thailand signed up to GATS in 1995, agreeing eleven sectors out of 12, including tourism and travel-related services. It aimed at progressively eliminating international barriers to trade in services. Under tourism, Thailand committed itself to the three sub-sectors out of four; namely, hotel and restaurants including catering, tour operators and travel agencies, and the other in hotel management. In Thailand, no restrictions nor conditions have been imposed on outgoing travel by Thai people. As for a commercial presence, foreign ownership is unrestricted up to a foreign equity ceiling of 49 %. For the movement of natural persons, Thailand imposes some restrictions on market-access including visa/work permit requirements. Thailand wishes to share with other GATS members its experience in trade negotiations in the tourism sector at a regional level. As a member of ASEAN (Association of South-east Asian Nations), Thailand will pursue the ASEAN leaders vision to achieve a free flow of services by the year 2020, which will result in the removal of all limitations to market access and national movements. The ASEAN aims at improving trade commitments more than GATS (GATS plus). For the tourism sector, the ASEAN economic ministers assigned the ASEAN tourism ministers to identify common sub-sectors for short and long-term liberalization. Under the chairmanship of Thailand, the special ASEAN NTOs Task Force was established in June 2000 to meet the goals set up by the economic ministers. For nine months, three meetings have been held in Thailand and Malaysia, but the Task Force could not unanimously agree on three common sub-sectors; namely, Hotel Lodging Services (CPC64110), Meal Serving Services with Full Restaurant Services (CPC 64210) and Beverage Serving Services with Entertainment (CPC 64310). One of the main problems encountered in the meetings was that the existing CPC codes on the tourism sector could not reflect the tourism products and services in ASEAN. For example, some member countries do not serve alcoholic drinks in restaurants .The members also needed the clarification from the World Trade Organization on the level of liberalization in Mode 1 of Hotel Lodging Services whether none could be applied . One member commented on the cross border supply for hotel should be unbound because not technically feasible because of the nature of the service provided. Under the framework of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Thailand is the leader of the policy goal 1 of the APEC Tourism Charter that is to remove impediments to tourism business and investment. Thailand realizes that the reduction of trade, aviation and investment barriers will generate freer flow of travel and thus expand the international tourism in terms of receipts and number of arrivals. For the Annex on Tourism , Thailand shares the same view with the EU that it is possible to treat the tourism sector as a cluster, so long as the cluster approach is seen as a checklist to be used in the negotiations to assist negotiators in identifying optimum proposals for effective and complementary liberalization relating to the sector. The checklist of tourism connected services sectors shall be used as a guideline during the negotiations of these sectors which are related to tourism. On the two issues of tourism and sustainable development, and competitive safeguards, Thailand as a member of ASEAN supports the views of the ASEAN Secretariat. The concept of sustainable development of tourism is an important one, but the modality to support such sustainability should be carefully worked out. In the proposed Annex, it suggests that the implementation and the enforcement of internationally agreed quality and environmental standards be one of the modality. There are two issues to be considered here. On the internationally agreed quality and environment standards, who should be the right body to determine such standards. It would be difficult to balance the interest of both developed and developing members of ϲʹ on such issues. More importantly, would the developing members of ϲʹ be in a position or have the resources to implement and enforce such standards. And what would be the repercussions should they fail to do so? Since tourism is the people intensive industry relying on social and cultural aspects, greater consideration need to be given to the impact of free trade on traditional culture and community. For competitive safeguards, it would be fruitful to include measures to facilitate the elimination of barriers to trade in tourism services than to incorporate measures to prevent anti-competitive practices in the tourism sector. In addition, measures to promote and intensify cooperation between travel and tourism-related agencies should be incorporated into the Annex. Thailand recommends that the World Trade Organization should look into strengthening the domestic service capabilities of developing countries through access to foreign technology on a commercial basis. The developing countries could attach conditions to their market opening commitments, like requirement of technology and expertise transfer. From Thailands experiences in trade negotiations in the tourism sector, it is evident that the negotiators in the tourism sector are not well-versed in GATS rules while the experienced ones, mostly from the Ministry of Commerce, are not familiar with tourism business. We therefore request for the Asia/Pacific Symposium on GATS in the Tourism Sector to be organized by international multilateral organizations like ESCAP, World Tourism Organization, and the World Trade Organization with the aim to enhance better understanding on both GATS rules in the tourism sector and the benefits of trade liberalization to the domestic economy. In addition, we encourage the World Trade Organization to publish a Manual of GATS Rules for Trade Negotiations in the Tourism Sector as a user-friendly guide for newcomers in the tourism service negotiations. We call for more tourism staff training inclusive of tourism policy-makers and negotiators in the GATS context. *** PAGE 2 PAGE 4 _PID_HLINKSjAN{DE9745C0-F44A-11D4-B319-E2541E105160}Axu" http://www.tourismthailand.org/iations in Tourism Sector WhaitatatNormaldPERM THAI MISSION TO ϲʹTra39MMicrosoft Word 8.0O@@D'@*N@f,'DO :i+00/CBD-. ~  &'"""""&`#$$$ 9r $$BD-. ~  &'""""""""##BZ`!"""""""""""""""##`ObOdOvPxPzPR R"R$RTTT:VV>X@XBX[[4\6\8\f\h\l__HbJbLbdeeeffhhhjk k kl|l~llnnndpfphp60JjU jU0JmH0J j0JU6mH mH O""""""##dOzP$RT>VBXZZ]]Lbefh klnhp$$&`#$hfter their own resources and assets.4 BZ`!"""""""""""""""##`ObOdOvPxPzPR R"R$RTTT:VV>X@XBX[[4\6\8\f\h\l__HbJbLbdeeeffhhhjk k kl|l~llnnndpfphpVssss>*CJ 60JjU jU0JmH0J j0JU6mH mH S, but the Task Force could not unanimously could be applied1 s1 sup to one years4 to GATS in 1995, agreeing ten1 """"""##dOzP$RT>VBXZZ]]Lbefh klnhp2r$$&`#$h of ASEAN (Association of South4 .

By April 2001, TAT will launch its own portal site   HYPERLINK http://www.tourismthailand.org www.tourismthailand.org which provides both tourism information and online booking. The site contains extensive information on Thailand as a whole, as well as individually on each of Thailand s seventeen regions. One of the modalities to sustain tourism development is to ensure that all stakeholders express their views and interests, and that decisions are made accordingly. TAT has proposed a bill  the Tourism Industry Councils Act  which will establish and institution for the private sectors to work among themselves, and have full authority to talk to and recommend policy to the government. More funds will be allocated to local administration such as village councils, the provincial councils and municipalities to look aTherefore,nology and expertise transfer especially in the area of information technology. As a result, the travel and tourism organizations in the developing countries will be able to adapt to the new way of doing business in the Information Age.4 1 nThailand recommends that the CPC codes should be revised with the inclusion of new services into the CPC 64110 like teleconference.4  [$@$NormalCJ <A@<Default Paragraph Font0>@0Title$5>*CJ$mH , @,Footer  9r &)@& Page Number@C`"@Body Text Indent $mH (U@1( Hyperlink>*B*#N     :##8fBD-. :;NO#####r 6\r RL r RLr RL r RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RL r RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RLr RL r RLr RLr RLuRLr RLBD-. :;NO#######@ h#"h$&#%Unknownsurasak#X !!LQio##m a1TU!!####siamA:\trade negotiations.docsiamA:\trade negotiations.docsiamA:\trade negotiations.docsiamA:\trade negotiations.docsiamA:\trade negotiations.docsiamA:\trade negotiations.docsurasakA:\trade negotiations.docsiamA:\trade negotiations.docsiamA:\trade negotiations.docsiam;C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\AutoRecovery save of trade negotiations.asd@ii+ih$GCJ mHF$GCJ mHmH $mH $mH  AB,.GIJ3O !'()*,/QRST  !$%*./237;?AFHJLMNRVWXYZ[\]_abcfhjklpqsuvwy|}  $%(,-./235789=>?BCFJLOPRSUW\]`bcdhijmnpqtuvy}~          !
