Thailand experiencing tourism revival

Individuals with property in Chon Buri, Thailand, may be pleased to hear that the country is experiencing strong bookings once again following a period of political uncertainty, a leading tour operator has suggested.

Hayes and Jarvis has revealed that despite all the recent troubles experienced by the Asian destination, the availability of cheap flights has contributed to an upturn in fortunes.

Neil Alobaidi, commercial director for the global tour operator, explains that there are some good deals for holidaymakers to take advantage of in the long-haul holiday market.

"While the political instability definitely dented bookings in the short term, while the country was hitting the headlines, Thailand has now turned the corner and bookings for Phuket and Koh Samui are exceptionally strong," he adds.

Mr Alobaidi's comments come after the Tourism Authority of Thailand announced that it would be running a range of promotional strategies to tempt visitors back.

Official figures show that there was a 6.8 per cent decline in visitor numbers in June compared to last year.
