Mr. Na Nagara explained that the Thai Yacht Business Association represents the yachting industry throughout Thailand and was established in 2014 to support and act as a medium for doing business in the yacht industry in Thailand. It provides basic information and troubleshooting to keep the yacht industry in Thailand running smoothly and operates as a medium to create understanding between the government sectors such as the Marine Department (Ministry of Transport), Customs Department (Ministry of Finance), Ministry of Tourism and Sports and Tourism Authority of Thailand, and the private sector, etc.

The Thai Yachting Business Association, together with the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, will organize Thailand Charter Week 2022 between 16-19 November at Phuket Yacht Haven Marina.
