Chiang Mai gearing up for ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)

The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is being launched this year with the aim of being the goal of regional economic integration by 2015, and Chiang Mai is all geared up for it with new developments taking place in the province.

The city with its many religious and other attractions is the largest and most culturally significant city in Northern Thailand and in 2013 welcomed a staggering number of 7 million tourists. If you’re planning a vacation in this magnificent city and searching for a Chiang Mai hotel, consider the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa that’s within 10 minute distance from Chiang Rai’s oldest temple, Wat Chiang Man.

With the launch of the ASEAN Economic Community, the governor of Chiang Mai has said that there are a number of developments taking place in order to be a hub of education, medicine, meeting and transportation in the AEC. Thus, development in the city’s main transportation systems as well as the expansion of its international airport is being pursued amidst other projects.
