Yesterday, the Tourism Authority of Thailand launched a “durian metaverse”, the first of its kind that offers virtual tours of Thai durian orchards and an opportunity to virtually own durian orchards on the metaverse. TAT Governor Yuthasak Supasorn said that as Thailand’s tourism industry has been severely hit by the Covid pandemic, his agency saw an opportunity to use digital technology to boost the country’s tourism competitiveness while maintaining the industry’s sustainability.
That led to the concept of a “tourism metaverse” to provide virtual experiences to tourists, both from domestic and overseas markets, the TAT governor said. The “Amazing Thailand Metaverse: Amazing Durian” project is part of this concept.
