Festival set to boost business
June 3, 2010 by TTRweekly Staff   

BANGKOK 3 June, 2010 – Tourism Authority of Thailand will spend Bt75 million to host the Thailand Tourism Festival due to open 9 June at the Impact Muang Thong Thani.

The five-day show running to 13 June will feature 368 booths mainly tourism companies and resort hotels supported by booths displaying OTOP products from around the country.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand estimates 200,000 to 300,000 visitors will attend over five days. Last year, the event lasted 10 days and cost TAT Bt100 million to host. It should generate Bt250 million in revenue for exhibitors.
TAT governor, Suraphon Svetasreni, said he hoped the event would ease tension and encourage Thais to travel and explore their own country.

“After political unrest, the festival should help tourism entrepreneurs that suffered from the upheaval.”

The event coincides with the TAT’s 50th anniversary, and will focus on new destinations, cultural performances, as well as the latest tourism technology and innovation used to promote tourism.

TAT will also hold a seminar on the last day, 13 June,  under the theme of “Tourism without boundaries: The Road to Nowhere”. Aimed at state agencies, tourism-related private companies, educational institutions and private development organisations, the seminar will look at opportunities and challenges facing the local travel industry.

Impact Exhibition Management advisor to the chairman, Taweesak Dheerakiatkumchorn, noted that the exhibition had grown every year since it was launched in 2007 and should  represent 60,000 sqm of paid  floor space."

I have discovered a hidden naturual tourism resource that is untapped in Rural Thailand. The potential is conciderable. International Sceintific Research, Movies, Tourism, Increased food Production, Also The earth can be opened to swallow the Floods in this wilderness of Snakes and Scorpians. Slightly Revelationary and that makes me God according to the Revelations. Due to Large scale of Project I would be interested in Sharing the overall project with those to whom the Interest of all those who reside in Thailand and Asean. Possibly if we could have an impromtu Expat meeting in which we could form an Thai and Expat Co-op for the Project and Finacing which may not be too much to get a Buri Ram Earth opening Done.
