PHUKET: Phuket bidding to host the World Specialized Expo 2028 has the potential to change the face of the island’s tourism industry, says Rangsiman Kingkaew, Vice President of Strategic Tourism at the Phuket Tourist Association.

 

Mr Rangsiman’s claim came in an explanation to the public yesterday (Nov 13), following Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew announcing last week that he will present to the mobile Cabinet meeting in Krabi on Tuesday (Nov 16) a proposal for Phuket to be focal point of hosting the expo, which will also include other Andaman provinces as secondary hosts.

 

The move is part of a plan to help broaden Phuket’s economic base and reduce the island’s overdependence on destination tourism, Governor Narong explained in announcing the move on Nov 3.
