Thai volunteers dispatched to Yamanashi Prefecture by the Thai government to support Japanese local governments in their efforts to attract tourists from overseas have begun full-scale work such as touring tourist facilities and disseminating information using SNS. I am.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand has been using an international cooperation framework modeled on the Overseas Cooperation Volunteers implemented by Japan's JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) to launch a project in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, which has been working to attract foreign tourists since December last year. We have begun dispatching long-term volunteers.
On the 1st, volunteer Ancharipong Parisawong (30) visited tourist facilities in the city, including campsites and restaurants, and tried his hand at making Baumkuchen.
Facilities where you can actually experience making Baumkuchen are rare in Thailand, which is appealing to Thai tourists, and he advised them, ``We need to be more proactive in disseminating information.''
Afterwards, Mr. Ancharipong returned to City Hall and used a tablet to create a 30-second video introducing the attractions of the facility, and posted it on Instagram, which the city had newly set up for Thai people. I was there.
Mr. Anchaliphon said, ``In Hokuto City, there is still little information dissemination in Thai, let alone English, so I would like to do my best from now on.''
