CityNews – On 30th June, Charoenrit Sanguansat, the deputy governor of Chiang Mai, came to present “Green & Slow Travel,” a new tourism campaign aimed to promote sightseeing in Chiang Mai, Lamphun, and Lampang.

Aimed to encourage tourism in and around Chiang Mai, “Green & Slow Travel” is, as its slogan goes, “Easy Travel in Lanna Style.” The deputy governor of Chiang Mai opened the ceremony at Tapae Gate, where members of various bicycle clubs in Chiang Mai, along with the general public, started a cycling parade along the moat and back to Tapae Gate. The cyclists then received souvenirs and maps.

Another objective of “Green & Slow Travel” is to encourage the use of bicycles, as well as walking, trams, and even horse carriages, to promote conservation of the environment. Chiang Mai’s branch of Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the Chiang Mai Tourism Business Association, and the Chiang Mai Municipality Office have worked with local bicycle clubs to launch other campaigns to encourage tourists to travel around Chiang Mai, Lamphun, and Lampang, such as “Walk and Cycle in Chiang Mai City,” “Cycle and Take a Tram in Hariphunchai,” and “Horse Carriage in Lampang.” For more information, call 053 276 140 – 2.
