Healing-led luxury, sustainable routes and hidden gems advance Thailand’s world-class positioning in Europe under TAT’s ‘Unforgettable Experience: Healing is the New Luxury’ concept

BERLIN, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is unveiling the Kingdom’s latest world-class positioning in Europe at ITB Berlin 2026, the 60th anniversary edition of the world’s largest and most influential travel trade fair, held from 3–5 March at Berlin ExpoCenter City. With ‘The New Thailand’ vision, TAT strengthens the country’s world-class destination status under the concept ‘Unforgettable Experience: Healing is the New Luxury’, spotlighting hidden gems, sustainable routes and eco-friendly tourism products tailored to the European market.

TAT’s participation is further elevated by the gracious presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana, who visited the Thailand Pavilion and prepared som tam thad, a signature Thai papaya salad served in a traditional sharing tray. The live presentation highlighted Thai culinary artistry, cultural vibrancy and the philosophy of food as nourishment, drawing the attention of international media and trade partners.

Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said: “ITB Berlin 2026 serves as a strategic platform to communicate The New Thailand vision with clarity and purpose. Healing-led luxury reflects evolving global demand for wellbeing and meaningful travel experiences, while sustainability and hidden gems sharpen Thailand’s competitive edge in Europe. Germany remains a priority long-haul market with clear expectations for quality, safety and responsible tourism. Through coordinated public–private sector collaboration and focused trade engagement, TAT advances Thailand’s standing as a future-ready world-class destination.”

The Thailand Pavilion presents a refreshed and contemporary image under the Unforgettable Experience: Healing is the New Luxury concept, positioning Thailand as a genuine restorative destination where wellbeing, culture and authenticity converge.

Leading a delegation of 165 Thai tourism operators at the Thailand Pavilion in Hall 26B, TAT drives high-level business negotiations with international buyers and trade visitors. Of these, 89 operators hold recognised sustainability certifications and awards, including the Thailand Tourism Awards, STAR certification, Green Hotel and CF Hotels, demonstrating significant progress in sustainable tourism standards. TAT collaborates closely with the Department of Tourism, Thai Airways International, Bangkok Airways, Airports of Thailand, Thailand Privilege Card, the Sports Authority of Thailand, the Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration, and provincial tourism associations, presenting a unified national platform that reflects strong public–private sector integration.

The showcase highlights hidden gems across all regions, including Sukhothai and Nan in the North, Suphan Buri and Ratchaburi in the Central region, and Satun and Trang in the South. The Sustainable Thailand narrative is reinforced through 10 Krabi: Travel With Care itineraries and 20 low-carbon travel routes, supported by TAT Certify standards, including STGs STAR, Thailand Tourism Awards and CF Hotels, strengthening confidence among environmentally conscious European travellers.

A highlight of the pavilion is the Saneh Thai Café, which presents wellness tourism through cuisine under the Wellness on a Plate and Worth-Life Balance themes, offering 20 curated routes that connect gastronomy, regional identity, and holistic wellbeing. Eco-friendly products crafted from marine debris and recycled materials, including driftwood art, bead necklaces, art toys and footwear, are showcased alongside interactive DIY souvenir activities such as keychains, phone straps and bracelets, reinforcing Thailand’s commitment to creative and responsible tourism.

In parallel with ITB Berlin 2026, TAT is amplifying Thailand’s presence across Berlin through Amazing Thailand Fest 2026 (The Wholesome Taste of Thai) at KaDeWe from 2–14 March 2026. Delivered in cooperation with Central Group, the high-impact brand takeover transforms the luxury department store’s façade and window displays into a showcase of Thai cuisine and tourism, positioning gastronomy as a powerful driver of destination inspiration and travel demand.

Germany continues to play a vital role in Thailand’s long-haul strategy. In 2025, Thailand welcomed 965,898 German visitors, representing a 10.60 per cent increase compared with 2024. The positive momentum has continued into 2026, with 115,700 German travellers visiting Thailand from 1–31 January, an increase of 2.55 per cent year-on-year. These travellers, with an average stay of 15.58 nights per trip, drive strong market demand for beach holidays, family travel, health and wellness, environmental conservation and slow travel, with safety remaining central to travel decision-making.

In 2026, TAT continues to strengthen the German market through targeted product highlights across Sea–Sand–Sun, Leisure and Sports, Wellness, and Nature and Outdoor segments, while advancing responsible tourism and experience-based travel that creates lasting value and meaning. Hidden gems are being positioned as compelling new destinations that appeal to the sustainable market focus of quality German travellers.

As part of the ITB Berlin programme, TAT will host the Amazing Thailand Networking Event on 4 March 2026. The gathering will bring together international media, global trade partners and key stakeholders to further outline the Value over Volume strategy and long-haul market priorities under the Healing is the New Luxury concept.

Participation at ITB Berlin 2026 is projected to generate over 5.568 billion Baht in economic value, reinforcing Thailand’s path towards a sustainable, high-value and truly unforgettable world-class destination.

World-First Super Pixel, Inkjet-printed OLED, and a Full Portfolio of APEX-Driven Innovations Set New Performance Standards

BARCELONA, Spain, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL CSOT, a global leader in advanced display technologies and TCL Technology subsidiary, debuts its next-generation display innovation at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026. Under the theme “Super Pixel Beyond Limits,” the company debuts its Super Pixel technology alongside major Inkjet-printed OLED (IJP OLED) advancements and a full portfolio of next-generation displays. These innovations reflect the APEX philosophy, prioritizing human-centric benefits and sustainability over pure specifications to inspire future possibilities.

“The APEX philosophy is our compass, guiding us to create visually stunning, healthier, more sustainable technologies,” said Jun Zhao, Senior Vice President of TCL Technology and CEO of TCL CSOT. “Advancements like Super Pixel and IJP OLED aren’t just single-component improvements; they represent a fundamental shift toward manufacturing stunning, flexible, and efficient displays.”

Super Pixel: Pushing Display Performance Beyond Limits

Taking center stage is Super Pixel, designed to redefine core display performance. By fundamentally re-engineering the pixel arrangement, it delivers three key benefits addressing modern user demands. It achieves High Clarity, producing sharper images by increasing sub‑pixel density by approximately 1.8%; Smart Power Use, reducing energy consumption by up to 25% without compromising quality; and Rapid Refresh, enabling refresh rates up to 40% to ensure smooth motion across everyday applications.

This debuts in world-first mobile displays: the World’s First Super Pixel High-Clarity Mobile Display (6.9″), the World’s Lowest-power Consumption Super Pixel Mobile Display (6.9″), and the World’s First Super Pixel High Refresh Rate Mobile Display (6.9″).

IJP OLED: Pioneering Next-Generation Display Manufacturing

Building on over a decade of leadership, TCL CSOT showcases transformative IJP OLED advancements that simplify production, reduce costs, and unlock new performance levels. Scalable to various panel sizes, IJP OLED ensures superior clarity and power efficiency. This was reinforced last year when TCL CSOT began building the world’s first 8.6-generation IJP OLED production line (t8).

The World’s First Ultra-thin Rigid IJP OLED Notebook Display (14″) is 0.77 mm thick and weighs under 77 grams—50% lighter than conventional alternatives, eliminating standard display bulk, and offering unprecedented comfort.

The World’s First Foldable & Portable IJP OLED Monitor Display (28″) features a revolutionary tri-fold design transforming a compact 16-inch device into a 28-inch ultra-wide screen. With an ultra-slim 4.48 mm unfolded thickness and a tight 1.8 mm folding radius, it is highly portable. The world’s largest waterdrop hinge enables seamless transitions between horizontal, vertical, and folded modes, alongside multi-angle hovering. An integrated rear stand ensures stable placement anywhere.

The World’s First Real Stripe RGB IJP OLED Mobile Display (5.65″) achieves a 390 PPI resolution, yielding a diamond-like pixel arrangement at 490 PPI, surpassing mainstream flagship displays. This high-precision OLED printing, featuring a Real Stripe RGB pixel arrangement, ensures flawless fine-text rendering and delivers a more refined, true-to-life visual experience. This demonstrates TCL CSOT’s capability to manufacture high-end IJP OLED products across all formats.

The APEX Philosophy: The Ultimate Display-Innovation Framework

These advancements come together under the APEX philosophy—a roadmap built on four human‑centric pillars:

A: Amazing Display Experience – World’s Brightest OLED Mobile Display (6.9″): With 15,000 nits peak brightness, this display remains readable in direct sunlight. Integrating PLP 4.0, tandem technologies, and advanced tuning, the 1.5K panel delivers unmatched contrast and luminous efficiency.

P: Protective of Eye Health – World’s First Natural-light-certified OLED Mobile Display (6.9″):  Second‑generation circular polarizer technology suppresses glare and enhances contrast. Clearly visible even through sunglasses, it offers a book-like reading experience. Achieving over 95% ellipticity at 550 nm, it mimics natural light to improve uniformity and alleviate visual fatigue.

E: Eco-Friendly to Build and Use – World’s Lowest-power Consumption OLED Mobile Display (6.9″): Using a tandem light‑emitting structure and Polarizer‑Less Process (PLP), it achieves a 45% reduction in power consumption. Featuring a 1224×2992 resolution and adaptive 1-144Hz refresh rate, its updated microstructure creates a seamless pure-black appearance, eliminating visual distinction between the infrared touch (IR) and active display (AA) areas for a true-to-life color experience.

X: X-Unlimited Imaginative Potential – World’s Smallest Si-Micro LED Display (0.05″): Ideal for compact AR glasses, it features a 256×86 resolution, 5,080 PPI pixel density and over 4 million nits peak brightness for exceptionally fine visuals. Its single-color green configuration and 5-micrometer pixel pitch ensure high picture coherence, while a low-power CMOS backplane keeps consumption below 10mW, extending battery life.
