Abstract

Creative writing studies have been gaining a foothold in the academic world in recent years, but its reach in Thailand is still few and far between, not to mention its application in the tourism industry. The author proposes the use of creative writing studies in helping the tourism industry after the COVID-19 crisis, particularly in Chiang Rai, through senior projects. During the COVID-19 crisis, the businesses supporting the tourism industry were seriously affected. Mae Fah Luang University, local authorities, and national agencies encourage projects that could solve unemployment and reinvigorate local businesses, which lead to changes from a small scale such as senior projects. By exploring the existing narratives revolving around the businesses, knowledge of creative writing, especially in nonfiction writing, could develop new narratives that could help the businesses gain new insights or voices, attracting more readers and potential customers. During the process, decoding meanings and constructing new ones turn out to be vital skills apart from using impactful dictions and following effective writing models. Unique perspectives offered by the creative writing pieces reflect the necessities for the businesses and people involved to adapt their waves of lives or their thinking to survive in the world after COVID-19.
