The 2007 Thailand Tourism Awards also recognized and honoured four veteran tour operators, each a pioneer of the Thai tourism industry — World Travel Service Ltd., SEA Tours Co.,Ltd. and Educational Travel Center Ltd., Part., for inbound tourism and N.S. Travel & Tours Co., Ltd. for domestic tourism.

Each is recognized for having consistently provided the highest standards of service for the past 15 years. The four award winners have extended their support to local communities by playing an active part in promoting local culture and way of life by offering highly distinctive programmes and in doing so they have helped to promote environmentally-friendly travel and contributed to the conservation of the environment and tourism sites. This is the first and only time that the Thailand Tourism Awards in this special category will be presented.
