PATA Destination Marketing Forum

is a three-day event designed to empower emerging destinations with the tools and insights needed to grow into globally recognised tourism hubs. This year’s forum offers a collaborative experience, blending local exploration with practical sessions.

The forum’s innovative format will combine a one-day destination experience with a conference, offering destination marketers and tourism professionals valuable insights, actionable strategies, and emerging trends to enhance their destinations' appeal. This is the opportunity to connect with industry experts dedicated to the growth of Asia Pacific tourism.

About Chiang Rai

The city of Chiang Rai, nestled in the northernmost region of Thailand, is known for its complex mountain range and the famous Golden Triangle region. Home to iconic sites like Wat Rong Khun (the White Temple) and Baan Dam Museum (the Black House), Chiang Rai captivates visitors with its art and architecture that represent both the skills of Thai National Artists and the rich heritage of the Northern Thai region.

Visitors who seek calming natural scenery can enjoy the breathtaking morning mist from Doi Pha Tang’s peaks, explore lush tea plantations, and relax by serene waterfalls. The province also offers immersive cultural experiences, showcasing traditional crafts and local customs. Conveniently, the province is only a one-hour flight from Bangkok.

PATA Event Carbon Offset Fee

PATA selects carbon offsetting projects in the destinations where the events take place whenever possible to support these communities and invest in local sustainability initiatives.

Why take part?

PATA is committed to reducing the carbon emissions of our in-person events. Our Carbon Neutral Events Policy outlines the steps taken to minimise and mitigate the events' footprint. However, some emissions are unavoidable, such as the flights taken to reach the destination, the electricity consumed, and the waste generated, among other emissions carefully calculated by our Sustainability Team.

For this reason, PATA offsets the unavoidable carbon emissions, as we have done in previous years. But for this, we need your support! With US $10, you help us gather the necessary funds for offsetting PDMF's emissions through a carbon offset project.
