From June 07 to September 07 this year, the Thailand National Tourism Bureau will launch Green Travel packages targeting Chinese tourists, and it will specifically launch special trips for Chinese senior citizens. Bali Island and Phuket will also arrange various activities for family tourists from China.
Nongnart Wattanachart, a director from the Thailand National Tourism Bureau, expressed during his recent visit to Shanghai that Thailand would attract one million Chinese tourists to visit Thailand this year and it would expect to receive three million Chinese tourists by 2010.
Xiao Qianhui, general manager of Shanghai Spring-Autumn Travel Service Company, told local media that Chinese citizens spend an average of six days in Thailand during each visit and they spend 6000 Baht each time, excluding the expenditure on transportation and accommodation. Xiao said that in order to better expand Thailand's Phuket market, Shanghai Spring-Autumn Travel Service has opened a branch in Phuket.
At present, airline companies such as Shanghai Airlines, Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines and Dragonair all have launched flights to Phuket Island. China Eastern will resume a Shanghai-Phuket line from July 16 and China Southern will launch a Guangzhou-Phuket line from July.
