All in the same boat: Tourism potential along the Mekong
A recent field trip to Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, organised by the Thailand Research Fund was aimed at promoting a community-based research project on managing social and cultural tourism routes. The project, extending into Sakhon Nakhon and Mukdahan, will help ASEAN Economic Community policymakers assess tourism potential along that stretch of the river.
A case study focusing on the Chiang Khan-Khong Chiam link is likely to help harness the potential in tourism for Thailand, Laos and Vietnam and generally bring more visitors to the Thai Northeast.
