BANGKOK (NNT) - The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is seeking to attract more visitors from India through a new campaign, with airlines offering special promotions and privileges to passengers.

 

The TAT launched the campaign in cooperation with Thai Airways and Thai Smile Airways to exchange information and further enhance the nation’s tourism sector.

 

Napintorn Srisunpang, vice minister for the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, said the airlines now anticipate at least 13,000 passengers traveling from India onboard Thai Airways and Thai Smile flights this month.

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports recently launched the Visit Thailand Year 2000 campaign, which also targets tourists from India.

 

In addition, the ministry is working with tour agencies in India to provide information about the latest travel requirements and proactively participate in tourism fairs in India, including the South Asia Travel and Tourism Exchange (SATTE) 2022 event in New Delhi during May 18-21.

 

To further promote Thailand as a wedding destination, the ministry will also be holding the Amazing Thailand Wedding EXPO 2022, targeting couples from India who plan to hold their wedding ceremonies abroad.

They only send Jihadis...not tourists... I think Malaysia has better use for them.

Here is a simple mathematical calculation for TAT to consider.

India's per capita:: $1900 means 60k Baht for year.

Cost of Thai pass forced quaratine with Test and Insurance scam = 10k Baht which is their whole budget for the short trip. You want Indian tourists, get rid of Thai pass and all other restrictions.

Gives "shaking my head" a whole new meaning! ????

I thought I read months ago they wanted to go out to the Indian market here with the average income of what Indians make per year I don’t know if they qualify for the quality tourist tihailand  mentioning

The new promotion is called 2-4-6-8:  2 per plane seat, 4 per bar girl, 6 per room and 8 per tuk tuk!!!

Drop the incoming nonsense and let whoever wants to come, come?

Will the Indians be welcome in Soi Cowboy?

How about "Welcome To Thailand - Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures".

Of course, if they don't go, they don't pay you back. Win win.

How about a two for one deal for male group tours down walking street or Nana plaza. 

16 posts and no one has mentioned Indians and straws yet? What the world coming to....

"Buy a flight for 599 baht, get a Covid Prison lottery ticket for free: Test positive after arrival and you'll enjoy an uninsurable enforced stay at an overpriced hospitel of our choice. If you loathe the food, we might even allow deliveries."

 

That's how a truthful advertisement should be worded, anyway.

You mean there are too many girls now for the few men? So threesomes, and foursomes are available....that will keep the ED pill sellers busy as well.

In the last decade the Governments tourist focus has gone from Russian (that is working well! ),Chinese ( also going well,not ) and now Indian.Which is the next country/continent is next to come out of this thought bubble.

When will the hordes of charging Mongols be arriving?  They wooed them a week or so ago, did the wooing brown envelopes fall short of expectations.
