Thailand's export prospects look gloomy this year amid weak global demand and the US-China trade spat. The department is tasked with promoting services in four areas: wellness and medical services; digital content; supporting services; and logistics. Wellness and medical businesses have huge promise in Thailand as society ages. Developing wellness businesses will boost income distribution to the regions, and income from wellness is relatively higher than from the average tourist or backpacker. The department will work with provincial commerce offices to galvanise local businesses into investing more in wellness and medical services.
