Thailand welcomes Etihad Airways’ inaugural Abu Dhabi–Krabi direct flight
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) hosted a welcome reception at Krabi International Airport for the inaugural Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on 9 October 2025. The milestone marks an important step in expanding air connectivity between Thailand and the Middle East, while reinforcing Krabi’s position as a leading destination for beach, wellness, cultural, and sustainable tourism. The welcoming ceremony was presided over by Mr. Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, together with Ms. Sasithorn Kittidhrakul, Deputy Minister of Interior; Mr. Chayatan Phromsorn, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport; Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor; Mr. Ratthasart Chidchoo, Governor of Krabi Province; and Mr. Danai Ruengsorn, Director-General of the Department of Airports, along with TAT executives and representatives from government and private sector tourism partners. Passengers arriving on flight EY424, operated by an Airbus A321LR with 160 seats, were greeted with a traditional Thai performance and special souvenirs, reflecting the warmth and hospitality embodied in the Amazing Thailand brand. The new Abu Dhabi–Krabi route increases seat capacity between Thailand and the Middle East by approximately 7,650 seats per month — an increase of about 16 per cent over current levels — thereby enhancing convenience for travellers and stimulating regional tourism growth. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said, “This new direct connection between Abu Dhabi and Krabi opens fresh opportunities for sustainable tourism development in southern Thailand. TAT is committed to empowering local destinations to deliver authentic, high-quality experiences that blend cultural richness with environmental responsibility and community engagement.” Building on this vision, Ratthasart Chidchoo, Governor of Krabi Province, added that the province is ready to welcome travellers from Abu Dhabi and beyond. “Krabi is not only famed for its spectacular islands and marine attractions but also for its rich cultural and community-based tourism experiences. Visitors can discover authentic local lifestyles and distinctive encounters that make Krabi truly memorable,” he said. Krabi’s strong foundation in sustainability further reinforces its appeal. Earlier this month, Lanta Archipelago National Park was named among Thailand’s ten winners in the 2025 Green Destinations Top 100 Stories, underscoring the province’s leadership in responsible tourism through the Krabi Prototype model supported by TAT. Thapanee added that the new Etihad Airways service reflects TAT’s ongoing collaboration with international carriers to enhance access to southern Thailand and expand the Middle East travel market. “The route complements TAT’s efforts to attract high-value visitors seeking health and wellness, luxury, family, and halal-friendly experiences. With Thailand’s growing reputation as a global Medical and Wellness Hub, we are committed to offering meaningful travel experiences that reflect the essence of Amazing Thailand,” she said. To further promote the new connection, the TAT Dubai Office has organised a familiarisation trip for Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to explore Krabi. The itinerary highlights local gastronomy, cultural identity, and themed experiences such as Hidden Gem Cities and the Jurassic World: Rebirth film location route, showcasing southern Thailand’s diverse appeal to discerning Middle Eastern travellers. Between January and September 2025, Thailand welcomed approximately 618,000 visitors from the Middle East, with arrivals projected to reach 850,000 by year-end. Middle Eastern tourists spend an average of 10 days in Thailand and about 104,000 Baht per trip, reinforcing the kingdom’s tourism growth and its positioning as a welcoming, world-class destination for global travellers.
Krabi takes centre stage at TAT’s Global Meaningful Travel Summit
The Krabi Prototype took the spotlight at the recently concluded 2025 Global Meaningful Travel Summit held simultaneously in Bangkok and Krabi. This is the first time that the event was staged anywhere in Asia and it was a joint initiative of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and sustainable tourism non-profit Tourism Cares. The summit brought the Krabi Prototype to centre stage as Thailand welcomed over 40 travel executives, tour operators, airlines, and media from the United States and beyond to explore its approach to sustainable and meaningful travel. The Krabi Prototype initiative, developed in partnership with local stakeholders, positions the province as Thailand’s leading pilot for responsible tourism. That said, TAT is accelerating operators into national sustainability standards, including STGs STAR, the Thailand Tourism Awards, and CF–Hotels, while advancing international benchmarks such as Green Destinations recognition for Mu Ko Lanta National Park. To date, Krabi counts 16 award–winning operators under the Thailand Tourism Awards, 119 STAR–certified businesses, and 65 CF–Hotels actively reducing carbon footprints through clean energy, solar power, plastic reduction, and local sourcing. Highlighting the Krabi Prototype The summit highlighted Krabi’s emergence under the Krabi Prototype, TAT’s flagship model for sustainable tourism development. Known worldwide for Maya Bay, the Phi Phi Islands, and Railay Beach, as well as its hot springs and limestone landscapes, Krabi is advancing a long-term commitment to protect its pristine environment and community way of life. The province is designated within the Andaman Development Zone under Thailand’s strategic tourism product clusters, underscoring its strong potential as a sustainable destination. This was further reinforced in 2023 when Khlong Thom Hot Springs earned recognition on the Green Destinations Top 100 Stories list for environment and climate, a global accolade that demonstrates Krabi’s readiness to serve as a model for responsible travel. What Krabi means to Thailand According to TAT governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool: “Krabi represents the balance we aspire to achieve across Thailand where natural beauty and local culture are preserved while communities benefit from tourism. Hosting the Global Meaningful Travel Summit here demonstrates to the world that sustainable tourism is not just a vision but a reality that can be experienced today. Through the Krabi Prototype, we show that sustainable travel is possible, practical, and rewarding for all.” During the summit, delegates engaged in immersive tours with local communities including Laem Sak and Ban Nai Nang, where grassroots initiatives such as waste management, traditional crafts, and community-led tourism showcased practical models of sustainability. Beyond the official programme, Krabi offers a wealth of eco–conscious experiences under the Krabi Prototype, from mangrove tours in Ban Thung Yee Peng to marine conservation activities around Ko Ngai. Together, these reflect how the province is redefining tourism’s impact by embracing low-carbon travel, eco-certified accommodations, and regenerative practices. Krabi’s sustainability journey is further supported by its communities: eight villages, including Koh Klang, Nai Nang, and Laem Sak, are leading the way through initiatives such as long–tail boat tours, batik workshops, stingless beekeeping, and multi–ethnic cultural tourism. These projects, combined with waste–to–energy management systems on the islands and strict local pledges to preserve beaches free of jet-skis and mass beach furniture, have become a provincial declaration of sustainability shared for more than a decade. Krabi also exemplifies Thailand’s dual economic strengths, as, alongside its tourism appeal as a bucket-list destination, the province is the nation’s second-largest producer of palm oil and home to rubber, Musang King durians, and robusta coffee, reflecting the integration of agriculture and tourism. Its cinematic scenery continues to attract global productions, most recently Jurassic World: Rebirth, further boosting international visibility. Taken all in, the summit reinforced how the Krabi Prototype contributes to Thailand’s broader sustainability agenda. An expanding map Over the past two years, TAT and Tourism Cares have expanded the Meaningful Travel Map of Thailand to include more than 45 vetted organisations, many of which were visited during the summit. Among these, eleven Krabi operators have also joined Tourism Cares’ global network of over 160 sustainable tourism partners, extending the province’s reach to international markets. By linking Krabi’s achievements with international networks, Thailand strengthens its positioning in key markets such as the United States, where demand for meaningful travel continues to grow. As Kiatphaibool put it: “The Global Meaningful Travel Summit in Krabi is more than a meeting—it is a milestone. By bringing the Krabi Prototype to centre stage, it has given the world a glimpse of Thailand’s future, where tourism safeguards our resources, strengthens our communities, and delivers meaningful value to travellers. Krabi is our prototype, and our goal is to scale this model across the country so that Thailand remains at the forefront of sustainable tourism.”
