Trip Affiliates Network collaborates with Thai Longstay, enhancing Thailand’s tourism industry through digital solutions for long-term visitors.
Trip Affiliates Network (TA Network) launched a collaboration with the Thai Longstay (TLS), welcoming them into TA Network’s regional travel ecosystem. The partnership will secure further ties to deepen the regional footprint.
To offer convenient services to foreign retirees who intend to stay in Thailand for an extended period, the Thai government passed a cabinet resolution in 2001 establishing the Thai Longstay Management Company Limited, with the Tourism Authority of Thailand as a joint shareholder with the private sector. The main goal, which is part of boosting Thailand’s tourism industry, is to offer foreign tourists the best possible services to make their extended stay in Thailand an unforgettable one.
CEO of Thai Longstay Management Mr. Chakkrit Changsalag, says, “Our primary objective since our founding is to support and promote tourism in Thailand as the world’s most popular tourist destination. A distinctive point here to add – Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has trusted us, making us the only travel agency authorized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to grant Special Tourist Visas (STV) to foreign visitors. TLS also offers all services as “ONE STOP SERVICES” to all visitors to our “Land of Smiles”. We will be able to obtain the much-needed help through TA Network’s digital solutions and ecosystem thanks to our collaboration with them.”
“TA Network provides an innovative B2B hotel direct booking solution, designed to assist hotels and their B2B channels in increasing direct bookings and reservations,” says Nattanan Chullasevok, Regional and Client Success Manager for TA Network (Thailand). “TA Network hi-performance solutions provide partners access to in-system real-time room prices and inventory by collaborating with partners like TLS on the open ecosystem. Furthermore, TA Network offers TLS a wide range of digital tools and solutions to enhance the quality of travel for these extended visitors, in line with the goal of TLS to provide the best experience possible for long-term travellers in Thailand”.
