The Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration (Dasta) is aiming to earn revenue of at least 5-10 million baht per year, reducing dependency on the state budget.
The agency plans to propose an amendment to the royal decree that established Dasta to refocus solely on nine designated areas, extending its authority to propose new designated areas to the cabinet in the future.
Dasta director Athikun Kongmee said it hopes to earn income this year for the first time in 20 years through tourism projects at existing designated areas.
