BANGKOK, June 14 (TNA) - The state-run Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is promoting the "green tourism", in which public campaigns on the "3Rs" concept have been launched. TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications Tanes Petsuwan told journalists that under the TAT's 3Rs campaigns, both Thai and foreign tourists have been encouraged to help reduce, reuse and recycle products made from plastic in the country.
