The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported, after receiving the report from the Thai embassy in Oslo, the capital of Norway, that Thailand again won the best tourist country award in 2010. More than 400 tourism agencies in Norway participated to give scores for this contest. Moreover, THAI Airways International airline, the national flag carrier of Thailand, was also been voted as the “Best international airline”. This will be its 6th consecutive year in winning this tourism award.

These two tourism awards will reflect the relevance and the importance of Thailand’s tourism among Norwegians despite world tourism facing a hard time.
