The rollout of the tourism Authority of Thailand’s TAT Coin is returning nearer to fruition, and is currently awaiting government approval consistent with native figures. 


A push in Thailand to spice up gross domestic product (GPD) by targeting crypto digital nomads is returning nearer to fruition consistent with native media. 

The tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has been trying into launching its own utility token referred to as TAT Coin since Sept as a part of a planned “cryptourism” campaign. The initiative aims to draw in crypto loaded digital nomads and therefore the TAT has been in discussions with the exchange of Thailand relating to TAT Coin’s issue. 

According to a November. 24 report from the port Post, the infrastructure behind the TAT Coin is “ready” to travel and is currently awaiting the inexperienced lightweight from the Thai government. 

Speaking at the "Transform tourism with cryptourism" conference on Tuesday, Jirayut Srupsrisopa the founder and CEO of native crypto exchange Bitkub urged policymakers to approve the rollout of TAT Coin: 

"Private sectors are ready to provide digital infrastructure, but we're just waiting for the government to press the button by enacting laws, regulations or even policies to help facilitate digital asset markets.”

“Our national GDP could grow six times if we can strengthen this market," he added. 

According to the Bangkok Post, TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn explained that the cryptourism campaign consists of “building a replacement touristy system that utilizes digital technologies to permit rich populations, together with cryptocurrency holders, to channel their cash on to touristy operators while not agents or brokers.”
