The Women’s Journey Thailand campaign is dedicated to women travellers around the world and entices them to enjoy cultural activities, special deals, discounts and privileges in Thailand.
In addition to the ‘Variety’s Power of Women Gift Bags’, TAT also handed out the ‘Women’s Journey Thailand Gift Bags’ to attendees who signed up to receive updates from TAT and Mae Chaem’s handwoven jacket from Chiang Mai to all honourees and presenters.
