Govt to spend Bt120 million to stimulate tourism


Recommended Posts

Hmm give out 1000b cash to Thais to spend on tourism great idea, should get everything moving again.

The 15% cash back will be well handy, it could be used to put towards visiting national parks etc so that you are only paying 850% more than a local to gain entry to the park.

We'll wait to see about the third measure as it hasn't been worked out yet.

Didn't they try the international exhibition hub thing before?

Full democracy....Brilliant, I'll get on the phone to all my friends that used to come here, and tell them everything is cool now, you can come back... ok Iv'e tried that but they all seem holidaying elsewhere now.

Tickle my <rear end> with a feather, hope they have good weather. 

 

" 10,000 lucky persons " = Chinese gamblers, they can't resist.

Ah, but gambling is not allowed, they all go to Cambodia for that particular area of tourism

A quick note to those who responded above.

 

The B120 million ($4 mil USD) is aimed at local tourism not international tourism. They want Somchai and Noi to visit other parts of the country rather than going home to visit the relatives.

 

Given that an international campaign will cost at least several times this outlay with results not seen in the current year, this offers the best bang for the baht.

 

Another way to promote internal tourism is to hold or promote local festivals and concerts. These events will attract folk from neighbouring provinces to come along and spend money, which is the object of this exersize. It will make TAT happy with better numbers and will inject money into some local communities, but on a bigger picture it is still the same large pot being shared out differently.

He might mean travel whilst they are on holiday Keith. Not everyone flies only on Weekend.

It may be of help to clean the place up first with some decent basic infrastructure before more masses of Chinese & Indians come to google at the dirty place not even spending anything.

Forget about numbers & look after the good ones you have,,,,, had ?

One measure focuses on a project dubbed “Bt100 visit to all parts of Thailand”. The project will randomly select 10,000 lucky persons on September 9, October 10, November 11, and December 12 who will be given a tourism package for which they will only be required to pay Bt100.

Please note : excludes transport, accommodation, food and drink, excursions and any other thing that may cost actual money

“I would like to tell foreign tourists that Thailand has returned to full democracy, so they can come back to visit the country again,” Phiphat said

555 bet he was laughing inside when saying this.
