This year we aim to assist the festival in increasing the international awareness, especially in ASEAN, where both air and land transportation allows travelers to transfer within the region so easily. We also give importance to auditing the economic and social impact of the festival on the city. The Thailand International Balloon Festival is an important part of promoting the city’s unique Lanna history and culture.”
