TAT and Thai Airways Host Mega Fam Trip

Thai Airways International and the Tourism Authority of Thailand this week welcomed overseas delegates of the “Thailand Today” Mega Familiarization trip on their visit to Thailand during 12-16 July 2010.

THAI and TAT have jointly invited over 500 travel agents and journalists from around the world to Thailand as part of a Mega Fam trip to showcase some of Thailand’s best tourism destinations and products. The event was organized as part the 50th anniversary celebrations of THAI and TAT.

A “Thailand Today” welcome reception was held at the Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Center, chaired by H.E. Mr. Chumphol Silpa-archa, Thailand’s Minister of Tourism and Sports. Mr. Piyasvasti Amranand, THAI’s President and Mr. Suraphon Svetasreni, TAT’s Governor also attended the reception and welcomed guests and delegates from overseas.

Mr. Piyasvasti Amranand, THAI’s President, said that the THAI-TAT “Thailand Today” cooperative effort aims to boost tourism and air travel to and from Thailand on a global scale. As the Asian economy is expected to grow by 7% this year, with a global GDP growth expectation of 2.9%, Asia Pacific carriers will continue to benefit from strong regional growth.

 It is THAI’s hope that the “Thailand Today” Mega Fam Trip will help build confidence in Thailand as a destination of choice, boost air travel and tourism from the rest of the world to and from Thailand.
