Marking the continuation of their strong and effective collaboration, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration (DASTA) of Thailand have committed to a second renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that the two organizations first signed in 2014.
In a ceremony held at the UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office in Bangkok on 28 June, the renewed MoU was signed by Gp. Capt. Athikun Kongmee, Director-General of DASTA, and Mr Feng Jing, Director ad interim and Chief of the Culture Unit at UNESCO Bangkok.
UNESCO and DASTA will continue to collaborate to support sustainable tourism and local development for cultural and natural heritage sites, as well as for Creative Cities and additional tourism destinations in Thailand, primarily through capacity-building and the safeguarding of tangible and intangible heritage at selected pilot sites.
