This exhibition showcases the outcomes of the project "Enhancing Community Designers' Potential for Sustainability" in Chiang Saen Old Town, Chiang Rai, and Nan Old Town, Nan Province. The initiative aims to empower designers and local entrepreneurs, fostering opportunities for quality growth while promoting creative tourism in these areas.
The exhibition features products and services that merge local wisdom with modern design concepts, focusing on creativity, market-responsive quality, and sustainability while maintaining eco-friendliness.
Additionally, the exhibition presents strategies for building a design ecosystem linked to value chains, enhancing income through creative and cultural tourism.
