Visa, Tourism Authority of Thailand and Airports of Thailand Launch Thailand Spectacular Year End 2013 Airport Booths: Travelers Invited to Visit Special Booths for Prizes, Photos and More
Holiday campaign officially launches today through 15 February 2014; welcomes tourists to Thailand with exclusive deals, offers and promotions for Visa cardholders
Visa, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Airports of Thailand (AOT) have officially launched the Thailand Spectacular Year End 2013, kicking off the festivities at special airport booths – running for the entire campaign – offering prizes, photo booths and more for Visa cardholders.
Starting today, tourists are welcome to visit the special Thailand Spectacular Year-end booths located at departure hall and within the departure terminal of Suvarnabhumi airport and Don Muang airports. Simply spend up to 5,000 baht on your Visa card at any merchant located at either airport - or anywhere in Thailand - to get chance to receive Spectacular gifts such as the Apple IPad Mini, the Samsung Galaxy Note, and much more just for Visa cardholders. Travellers can also share their memories through photo booths and instantly post pictures to their Facebook pages – all compliments of Visa, and tagged under the global Visa Travel Happy campaign: #dropinthailand and #travelhappy.
In collaboration with TAT and AOT, Visa designed the Thailand Spectacular Year End 2013 campaign to drive tourist spending in Thailand, and to meet the holiday travel needs of visitors at every step of their journey to the Kingdom - from planning, arrival, at destination and departure.
Somboon Krobteeranon, Visa Country Manager, Myanmar and Thailand, says Visa and partners like TAT, AOT and leading merchants are committed to strengthening Thailand’s tourism industry by welcoming international visitors with exclusive offers and experiences through this year’s campaign.
“Thailand’s tourism industry is readily welcoming tourists to the Kingdom for their year-end travels. We would like to encourage all Visa cardholders to make the most of their holidays in Thailand, even as they depart the Kingdom to complete their journeys with special prizes, photos and more at the airport booths. That’s why Visa has joined hands with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Airports of Thailand and merchants to create a program that caters to all tourists – whether business or leisure travellers. Overall, we’re seeing continued growth in spending by international cardholders, and are committed to growing the Kingdom’s top spot as the holiday destination in coming months and years.”
