BEIJING, Oct. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Asia's leading streaming platform iQIYI has signed a strategic partnership letter of intent with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) today in Beijing at a ceremony attended by Thailand Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, Governor of TAT Thapanee Kiatphaibool, iQIYI President of movies and overseas business group Yang Xianghua, as well as representatives from seven Chinese leading businesses Ant Group, Ctrip, Huawei, JegoTrip, Meituan, Spring Airlines and Sina News.

At the same time, we will actively introduce Thai artists into Chinese productions including drama, films and variety shows. We look forward to deepening iQIYI's development in Thailand under the partnership with Tourism Authority of Thailand. Hand-in-hand, we aim to showcase the beauty of Thailand and its culture to the world."
