PHUKET: -- Direct flights and marine and medical tourism were the main topics of discussion when representatives from the southernmost Chinese province, and Phuket’s Sister City, Hainan, met with the Phuket Governor at Provincial Hall yesterday (Aug 31).

 

Gov Chamroen Tipayapongtada, along with Vice Governor, Chokdee Amornwat; chief of Phuket Provincial Administrative Office (OrBorJor), Mr Saranyu Saema, and representatives from Phuket Provincial Public Health Office, Tourism Authority Thailand Phuket office, Phuket International Hospital and the private sector were all on hand to welcome Hainan V/Gov Lu Junhua and his team at Provincial Hall.

 

Phuket Governor Chamroen revealed that the Chinese delegation came to Phuket to seek support in medical tourism, cruise tourism development, and to propose having direct flights from Haikou, Poao and Sanya in China to Phuket.

 

Gov Chamroen said, “ V/Gov Lu Junhua explained to us that Hainan and Phuket have been in a long-standing relationship and both provinces are well known for their tourism industries. He said that the majority of Chinese, especially lovers, are now choosing Phuket as the main choice for their honeymoon destination, while a large number are also coming for medical services.

 

“V/Gov Lu also said that China has a policy of promoting medical tourism at Poao City in the Hainan prefecture,” he said.
