About Us

Koh Tao Tourism Association is a non-profit organization representing all components of the Koh Tao tourism industry.

Operated by local entrepreneurs and a team of Thai and international volunteers, the Koh Tao Tourism Association is legally registered in Suratthani province under list no.1/2564. The Association was enacted on 11 March 2021 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic to combat the problems and complications inflicted on our island economy by the significant decrease in tourism. 

Our Purpose

Due to the new dynamic of tourism, our local self-growth community (originally fishermen and coconut farmers, but now heavily dependent on tourism) needs to adapt. Alongside the multi-cultural entrepreneurs of our island, the Association exists to develop tourism operations sustainably and meet international standards. The Association works closely with our community and liaises with external tourism agencies, including private and government bodies, to achieve our vision and mission.

Our Vision

The Koh Tao Tourism Association aims to be the center of coordination for all island-based tourist initiatives. Our goal is to make Koh Tao an internationally renowned and popular tourist destination once again. We are committed to the promotion of :

      • Quality-based sustainable development

      • The preservation of cultural traditions
