Yeah ...this is the plan of Tourism operators in Pattaya. They're going to offer free hotel rooms from May 1 to October 31! Wow!!!! This is so cooollll!!! They're doing this to attract local and international tourists during the low season.
You maybe asking..."Where the heck is Pattaya?"...Pattaya is 147 kilometers in the southeast of Bangkok. It claims to be the Asia's authentic international beach resort that appeals families, couples and even a single visitor all around the globe. The relaxing, tropical ambience is synonymous with every ingredient for memorable holidays. Tourists flocked here for it's luxurious accomodation (hotels and guesthouses), sporting opportunities both on land and water, amusement parks, offbeat museums and lush botanical gardens. Last March, Pattaya hosted the International Music Festival 2009.
Getting back to the free rooms....they said that apart from hotels, restaurants and shopping malls will also join the campaign, offering discounts up to 50%....*wide eye*...!
The seaside resort city is facing difficult times because of the global economic recession and local political problems, said Chatchawal Supachayanont, president of the Eastern Chapter of the Thai Hotels Association (THA). With this campaign, they hope that tourists and meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition (Mice) activities will be lured back to Pattaya again and tourism sentiment will improve as well.
Operators in Pattaya hope that when Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva goes abroad he will be able to explain the problems in Thailand and how the government intends to solve them, in order to restore confidence among visitors.
So, if you have time, come and visit Pattaya and enjoy their free rooms and discounted prices! Struck while the iron is hot, as the saying goes....

OK Great but which hotels? I'm sure that many are not participating.
ReplyDeleteGreat question Mr/Ms. Anonymous..Which hotels?..Unfortunately Bangkok Post doesn't mention a particular hotel instead I'll give you the excerpt:
ReplyDeleteMr Chatchawal said Pattaya's hotels had about 20,000 rooms and that all operators would join the promotion.
"This is the first time we have had co-operation from all parties, aiming to restore Pattaya's tourism image," he said.
pattaya's hotels and all operators are emphasized here...to be sure let's juz google if this plan was push through...I haven't yet receive a confirmation from my source...thanks for dropping by...
