PHUKET: The Cabinet at its mobile meeting in Krabi today (Nov 16) approved a slew of tourism and development projects, including officially approving for the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) to submit a bid for the rights for Phuket to host a World Specialized Expo 2028.

 

The move to bid to host the expo was in line with Phuket’s long-term development strategy, said Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office.

 

“It is expected that the economic impact will reach B49.231 billion, and create 113,439 job positions,” Mr Thanakorn said..
