~
Friday, October 27, 2006
There was no queue of applicants prepared to present their credentials for the vacant post of TAT Governor on 5 October the first day for applications.
Tourism Authority of Thailand has announced the search for a new governor will run until 31 October while officials acknowledged no one showed up on the first day.TAT governor selection committee president
Kriangsak Lohochala said applicants may need time to prepare the necessary documentation, which includes a five-page paper on their vision for the tourism industry and how he or she plans to manage the authority.TAT governor in Thailand Travel
There is also the possibility that TAT officials are reluctant to present their applications until the political situation is clearer. In the past TAT executives who were unsuccessful were often demoted or placed in non-active posts by the successful candidate, who has always been an insider.TAT governor in Thailand
It is possible high ranking officials are watching each other carefully to see who will make the first move. It is unlikely that TAT executives will compete for the post against each other knowing the penalty that accompanies failure.Mr Kriangsak said
the new governor must not be older than 60 years of age as of the application date, should not be on a current TAT committee and cannot be involved in politics.TAT governor in Thailand
Applicants can come from either the public or private sector, but those from businesses should hold a position of executive vice president or above for at least one year and managed a business of more than Bt200 million in revenue a year.TAT governor in Thailand Travel
