Laguna Group offers free accommodation in Phuket

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in cooperation with Laguna Phuket offers 100,000 nights of free accommodation at 6 luxurious hotels in Phuket in order to boost the province’s tourism.

Managing Director of Laguna Resort and Hotel Company Michael Ayling said that the company in cooperation with TAT has organized the 100,000 Smiles at Laguna Phuket Promotion by offering free accommodation for 100,000 nights at 6 leading hotels under the Laguna Group for customers making reservations online.

The promotion is expected to attract worldwide tourists to visit Phuket and to promote tourism during the low season in the attempt to boost the economy.

Mr. Ayling said that those who book their accommodation during March 1-31 are eligible for a free one-night stay and can choose their check-in date between March 15 and December 31, 2009.

Meanwhile, TAT Governor Phornsiri Manoharn said that the hotels of the Laguna Group are prestigious for their world-class quality while expressing her support for the 100,000 Smiles Promotion, saying that it will emphasize Thailand as the Land of Smile.

it's my understanding that you have to book a room to get a free room. that is the company memo that went around out here today.

Rather than offer meaningless promotions for this already ridiculously overpriced resort...Thailand should address the problems that are seeing people turning there backs on Phuket.

Police and Tuk Tuk corruption

Congested polluted beaches... with irritating beach hawkers,noisy expensive jet ski

Oh...and the falsely high Baht value.

Yep. Seen this before. To get 1 free night you must book at least 1 night at the full rack rate (this rate being 3 times what you would pay on asiar.....dotcom)

Yet another pathetic excuse of a so called "promotion" from the TAT, when really its just another TAT scam !

Or its those clowns in the Laguna Holiday Club trying to get people into their empty presentation room....

Interesting as it is not showing up online. The rates are crazy high too.

To be eligible to take advantage of the promotion you have to sign up on their website and they will notify you of all the details via email on March 1.

(I did so myself just to see what they have to say)

So you get one free night with any booking at a very expensive accommodation. I'm sure that will bring 'em to the island by the plane-load. Way to go for milking PR channels without really doing anything to attract new visitors.

100,000 Smiles Promotion

Rates in Baht per night

Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket

Ocean Front Pool Villa

I found taking advantage of the very generous 100,000 Smiles promotion offered a significant savings over regular discount hotel brokers. As an example for a typical 3-night short stay, I could save nearly 1,000 baht by using the very generous 100,000 Smiles promotion from their site with the total being only 160,245 baht, whereas the broker was asking for 161,000.

I think this promotion will be gargantuan in scope and is likely to turn tourism to the island around single-handedly. It will have people flocking to their properties in droves. People should really book early before all the 100,000 free nights are snatched up by bargain-hunters eager to save 755 baht on a 160,000+ total.

With savings like that on offer, one can't help but wonder whether a mere 100,000 "free rooms" will be enough to handle the inevitable outpouring of demand.
