Encouragingly, Thailand and Italy are nurturing a blossoming camaraderie, looking to galvanize gastronomy and tourism in a mutually beneficial partnership. As announced by Nalinee Taveesin, the current Thai trade representative, Italy also anticipates bolstering investments in Thailand’s premiere Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), devoting more resources to this substantial endeavour.
In the panorama of global cuisine, both Thai and Italian dishes carve a prominent niche, uniquely known for their distinctive flavours and global popularity, which was an agreement cemented during a recent dialogue between Nalinee Taveesin and Paolo Dionisi, Italy’s Ambassador to Thailand. Like paint-stroked signboards aglow, Italian eateries in Thailand far surpass the count of Italian nationals painting a delicious picture of Italian dishes’ popularity among the Thai food connoisseurs.
The enchanting allure of Italy’s landmarks too, commands a strong fascination among Thai tourists exploring international destinations. Now, let’s examine these statistics – Ten Thai tourists tread Italian soil for every Italian tourist venturing into Thailand. This rather tells a tale that Thailand boasts a potential leeway for promoting their stunning locales within Italy and nudging more Italian visitors to explore Thai terrain.
When you glance through the lens of investment, Italy sees Thailand as a regional fulcrum capable of revolving sizeable returns, especially the Eastern Economic Corridor, brimming with possibilities around infrastructure, rail transport system, and fast-track train technologies. Thailand is enticing Italian investors with the EEC project that is resonating international interest.
Existing collaborations between Italian state railways and the Charoen Pokphand Group, who have claimed victory in a bid to construct the rail network, connecting some of Thailand’s most bustling airports including Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi and U-Tapao, is already a testament to Italy’s enthusiasm in Thailand. This colossal investment that equals a staggering 650-billion-baht has opened the employment floodgates with more than 16,000 positions materializing, further stimulating the vibrant Thai economy.
For Thailand, Italy has always been a vital passage to the dense trade networks of Europe. Recently, Italy affirmed its commitment to bolster Thailand’s capabilities around logistics, export management, and food safety. This coupled with their joint initiatives surrounding gastronomy and tourism trace an upward trajectory for both nations blossoming rapport and lucrative potential.
