PHUKET, 16 November 2013 (NNT) - Phuket province is planning to hold the 6th Andaman Travel Trade 2013 event during November 21-23 with an aim to promote tourism in 5 southern provinces on the Andaman coast.

Together with the Tourism and Sports Ministry, the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Phuket Tourist Association, the province of Phuket is ready to organize the Andaman Travel Trade 2013, during which over 300 tour agents from 27 countries will get to meet with tourism operators from 5 Andaman coastal provinces, comprising Ranong, Trang, Krabi, Phang Nga and Phuket.
