JUST AN ARTICLE ON THE GIRLS TRIP TO THAILAND WITH INFO ON THE CRISIS.

Miss France 2009 promotes the Pearl of the Andaman.
Wednesday, 26th November 2008
Source : Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Young and beautiful ladies from France gathered in Phuket to participate in activities of the Miss France 2009 contest. This is in line with the programme of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) that aims to promote the Pearl of the Andaman on the world tourism map.

From 16-21 November 2008, 36 contestants from different cities in France, together with more than 50 members of the crew, stayed in Phuket for the special segment of the contest which is the collaboration between TAT’s Paris office, XL Airways and BEST Tours.

According to Mrs. Juthaporn Rerngronasa, Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), “After months of slow tourism traffic, Phuket has won back the attention of international tourists and business, and is starting to get back on track as expected. TAT and agencies concerned, at national and local levels, have been working closely to ensure that the Pearl of the Andaman receives more business in the coming high season."

As the future looks brighter, at least for the time being, Phuket has started welcoming more visitors from Belgium via XL Airways France’s once-a-week Brussels-Phuket charter flight since the end of October 2008, as a result of cooperation between wholesalers in Belgium and France, including BEST Tours. The demand remains high as Thailand is still considered the number one Asian destination amongst Belgians. Business from normal direct flights from other airlines has resumed as normal as well.

“With the potential growth of the tourism industry in Phuket to help stimulate the overall economy of Thailand, we need to continue our heavy and extensive promotion of this world-renowned seaside resort city,” noted Mrs. Juthaporn, adding that the Miss France 2009 campaign in Phuket is part of a series of TAT promotion plans.

In September 2008, the management of Miss France and TF1, France’s No.1 TV channel, flew to Phuket to inspect the island and its tourist attractions, in preparation for the Miss France 2009 campaign in Phuket.

During their stay, the famous Morning Talk (La Matinale) TV programme will run a documentary about the beauty pageant with segments in Phuket to be telecast via the Miss France 2009 programme on TF1 on 6 December 2008, the contest finals, at 8.50 – 11.30 p.m., before an expected audience of 12 million French-speaking people.

Following its cooperation to organize the Miss France 2009 campaign in Phuket, XL Airways France will start its operation of the Paris-Phuket charter flight service in December 2008. The one-flight weekly service will continue until April 2010 using the 364-seat Airbus A330-200, with the inaugural flight to take place on 21 December 2008. TAT will invite 100 travel agents and media for the inaugural flight.

With the wide and varied media channels for the Miss France 2009 campaign in Phuket and the inaugural flight, TAT hopes that French people will feel encouraged to pack their bags and choose Thailand as their next destination. For years, France has remained one of the most important European markets for Thailand’s travel industry, along with the UK Germany and Sweden.

Currently, Thailand is second to China as the French’s favourite Asian destination, welcoming about 351,651 French visitors in 2007, an increase of 9.92% from 319,910 of the previous year. Their average length of stay is 15.15 days while the average spending is Baht 3,820 or about US$110. For the first seven months this year, Thailand welcomed 246,188 visitors from France, a slight 2.69% rise from 216,121 from the same period of 2007.

According to statistics from the Immigration Bureau, tourist arrivals to Thailand at the Phuket International Airport during January and August this year are 829,083, an increase of 5.24% from 787,827 arrivals during the first eight months of 2007.

ANYWAY 2 DAYS LEFT......LETS SEE.....
