BANGKOK -- Expedia Group is working with the Thai government to list more hotels outside the country's biggest tourist hot spots on its platform, encouraging tourists to venture beyond places like Bangkok and Phuket.
The online-booking group signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tourism Authority of Thailand on Tuesday. It will conduct workshops and take other steps targeting hotel operators in 55 smaller cities, like Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son, instructing them on how to list their properties on the Expedia platform and manage bookings.
