SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Beijing Office and Alipay+, the unified wallet gateway of Ant International, launched a new campaign to enhance the digital travel experience via AI-generated themes and further collaborations to integrate AI across the travel journey in Thailand.<\/p>

\nBased on outbound travel behaviors from the first quarter of 2026, the campaign leverages AI-driven data analytics to interpret cross-border traveler behavior and integrates official tourism resource data from Thailand, creating four themed rankings for global travelers \u2014 \u201cThai Haokan\u201d (<\/b>Beautiful Sights), \u201cThai Haochi\u201d (<\/b>Delicious Eats), \u201cThai Haowan\u201d (<\/b>Exciting Activities), and \u201cThai Haozhu\u201d (<\/b>Cozy Stays)<\/b> \u2014 thus establishing a new paradigm for destination marketing empowered by digital technology.<\/p>

\nThrough Alipay+ Voyager, an in-app AI travel agent, TAT can then offer travellers personalised experiences based on the four rankings. The campaign will roll out first for Chinese travellers through Alipay, an Alipay+ e-wallet partner.<\/p>

\nData Intelligence Reshapes Travel Decision\u2011Making<\/b><\/p>

\nA growing number of travelers are embracing AI as a trusted tool for travel planning and booking. The top five most frequently asked questions by users are: \u201ctransportation guides\u201d, \u201cfeatured attractions\u201d, \u201clocal cuisine\u201d, \u201clocal experiences\u201d, and \u201caccommodation\u201d.<\/p>

\nLeveraging the unique wallet payment ecosystem of Alipay+ with data and support from the TAT, the campaign aims to:<\/p>

    \n
  1. \nIdentify trending tourist hotspots in Thailand<\/b>, with AI algorithms matching the interests and preferences of different traveller segments to deliver tailored recommendations for cultural exploration, culinary experiences, accommodation, and other niche scenarios.<\/li>\n
  2. \nOffer a seamless digital experience<\/b> from content browsing to trip booking, allowing user to complete one\u2011stop reservations for flights, hotels, attraction tickets, and ride\u2011hailing directly within the apps travellers know and trust.<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    \nFor example, via Alipay+ Voyager, travellers can directly book ride-hailing rides directly within their home e-wallet, without the need to download an additional app, while a growing number are asking the Voyager AI agent about location-based recommendations such as \u201cfood and activities near my hotel\u201d.<\/p>

    \nThe AI\u2011powered real\u2011time recommendation model marks the arrival of Smart Tourism 3.0, which the TAT is driving with partners like Alipay+ to enable each traveller to have a personalised and tailored experience in Thailand.<\/p>

    \nAI Creates Seamless Experiences, Driving Growth for Local Tourism Sector<\/b><\/p>

    \nMs. Yolrawee Sittichai, Director of the Tourism Authority Of Thailand Beijing Office<\/b> spoke highly of this collaboration. She stated that the launch of Thailand\u2019s AI-powered travel themed list in partnership with Alipay+ Voyager marks a significant milestone in leveraging digital technology to advance Thailand\u2019s tourism development.<\/p>

    \nThe Tourism Authority of Thailand has always prioritised the safety and security of Chinese tourists. As part of this collaboration, we have specifically integrated authoritative safety guidelines and a full-spectrum emergency contact system into the AI assistant service ecosystem, ensuring Chinese tourists enjoy a worry-free travel experience throughout their stay in Thailand. Through the AI assistant, tourists can easily access critical information including the Thailand Tourist Police Hotline 1155 (with Chinese language support), police emergency number 191, ambulance hotline 1669, consular protection hotlines of Chinese embassies and consulates in Thailand, and the Global Emergency Call Center for Consular Protection and Services of China\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>

    \nMoving forward, the Tourism Authority of Thailand will continue to deepen its partnership with Alipay+, continuously upgrading Thailand\u2019s digital tourism services to let more visitors experience the unique charm of Amazing Thailand.<\/p>

    \nMs. Scarlett Xing, General Manager of Alipay+ Travel Solutions at Ant International<\/b>, said: \"The Tourism Authority of Thailand has always been at the forefront of digital innovation and have been long time partners with Alipay+ across payments and other travel breakthroughs. Through Alipay+ Voyager, we're taking the next step in our collaboration, using our AI-powered solutions to drive a new chapter of discovery within Thailand, supporting the travel sector and bringing inclusive growth to more merchants. Together, we can showcase Thailand as the future of smart tourism, and we look forward to bring this experience to more partners globally.\"<\/p>

    \nThe continued growth in transactions in the first quarter of 2026 across Thailand not only reflects Chinese travellers\u2019 sustained enthusiasm for Thailand as a destination, but also how integrated digital travel ecosystems like Alipay+ Voyager \u2013 encompassing AI\u2011driven Q&A, one\u2011stop booking, and localised payment experiences \u2013 is effective in driving efficient conversion from traffic to consumption, delivering tangible commercial value to Thailand\u2019s tourism industry.<\/p>

    \nBuilding a New Ecosystem for Future Travel<\/b><\/p>

    \nFollowing the successful implementation of the first\u2011quarter cooperation, Alipay+ and the Tourism Authority of Thailand have announced the launch of three strategic upgrade initiatives:<\/p>
