webfact Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thailand Tourism Forum 2019 – Reflections #1 By The Thaiger PHOTO: Thailand Tourism Forum 2019 One of the key points made at the recently concluded Thailand Tourism Forum 2019 in Bangkok, was the country’s over reliance on mass tourism. Jesper Palmqvist of STR presented full year hotel data for Phuket which showed signs of recovery, yet highlighting the full impact of the drop in Chinese business after the July boat tragedy. Citing the number’s co-organiser of the event C9 Hotelworks Bill Barnett expressed concern that while airlift numbers remain positive, the massive impact of unlicensed accommodation on the Thai hotel sector was adding to the supply demand equation.

fruitman Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 So the hotelindusty relies heavily on the thai captains/busdrivers/pilots.....why don't they invest in that sector and make sure those drivers get a high standard education from Japan or another 1st world country??? It's just a matter of time before another accident involving groups of (chinese) tourists occurs and the losses will be huge again... Even better would be if those hotels also buy their own high quality boats/buses/planes.....everything should be safe and according to the highest standards so the real quality tourists can come back and feel safe in Thailand.
