The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) plans to organise the first official eco-tourism consumer fair in the third quarter next year to cash in on a growing trend.

Vilaiwan Twichasri, TAT's deputy governor for tourism products and business, said the fair would feature ecological and green tourism products, soft adventure and One Tambon One Product items, focusing on domestic tourists.

Eco-tourism shows a concern for the environment, culture, tradition and sustainable interest of the planet.

Thailand and Eco-tourism no longer belong in the same sentence.

Just make sure not to schedule any eco-tourism events during the high tourist season months in Chiangmai. The air pollution is the worst I had ever seen in my life with readings 2.5 times the maximum safety levels allowed and people advised to stay indoors. Mostly due to crop burnings with recent meetings still not knowing how to control the burnings that are going to happen as they do every year; mark my words. People will be choking on eco-tourism if things don't change.
