The Tourism Authority of Thailand is confident the Kingdom's travel industry will bounce back during the second half of the year, expressing hope that the “Amazing Thailand Grand Sale” event will stimulate 1.8 billion baht in circulation for the sector.
Deputy governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, or TAT, Pensuda Prai-aram, disclosed today that the TAT has proposed 360 million-baht worth of tourism stimulus measures to the Budget Bureau.
The push will involve no less than 12 activities during the low-season months of August and September.
The TAT is also working with NCC Exhibition Organizer in holding the “Amazing Thailand Grand Sale 2010”.
The ongoing event features over 800 booths of travel businesses and discounts as high as 80 percent on travel packages. Some 150,000 people are expected to attend the fair and 150 million baht will likely be generated.
Since the event kicked off on June 15 in eight provinces across the Kingdom, the TAT has voiced satisfaction with public response. It projects that the Thai travel industry will earn 1.8 billion baht in revenue this year, up from 1.4 billion baht last year.
