Local authorities — including municipal organizations, community groups, private enterprises, and the tourism sector — have been working collaboratively to ensure the event’s readiness. Their efforts include preparing venues, coordinating public relations, and enhancing facilities for both domestic and international visitors. The collective goal is to deliver a high-quality, well-organized event that generates tangible benefits for Phuket’s local economy and creative industries.
