Bangkok--7 Apr--TAT
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is offering its full support to Thai Airways International (THAI) as the airline inaugurates its first four-weekly Beijing-Phuket flight today, by co-hosting a familiarisation trip for travel agents and members of the media from the People's Republic of China. The 3-day fam trip, which will explore the natural and cultural attractions of Phuket, is taking place from today to 29 March.
Ms. Bangornrat Chinaprayoon, Director of TAT Beijing Office said, "This new THAI route is vital as Phuket becomes ever more popular with tourists and travellers from China who can now conveniently come here for weekends, knowing they'll find the world's best beaches, a warm welcome, and unique local experiences that will provide amazing memories. Phuket is a high quality, must-see tropical destination and this new air access will allow tourists from our largest market to fly here directly with no hassles and start enjoying the beach and local culture as soon as they touch down."
THAI is operating four flights per week on the new Beijing-Phuket route, using a 264-seat Dreamliner B787. The route is being promoted under a "Phuket Express" campaign, leveraging the fact that tourists and travellers from China can now fly direct to the holiday island.
