The Pattaya Grand Sale is underway for its sixth year and city officials are hoping the summertime campaign provides a substantive boost to low season tourism revenues.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome, Jaran Anmee, director of Tourism Investment for the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Sombun Khroptheenont, manager of Visa International (Thailand), and Sanphet Suphabuansathien, president of Thai Hotels Association Eastern Region, hailed the start of the campaign June 20 at Central Festival Pattaya Beach. They said the 2013 “Tour All Day, Discount Entire City” campaign offers the biggest discounts yet, up to 70 percent off at area hotels, golf courses and retailers.
Local luminaries kick off this year’s Pattaya Grand Sale.
The promotion runs through Sept. 30.
Co-sponsored by the Pattaya Business & Tourism Association, Pattaya Restaurant Club, Chonburi Attractions Club and East Coast Golf Courses Management Association, the sale applies to more than 70 hotels, 20 spas, 10 shopping centers, seven golf courses, and 15 tourist attractions.
Tourists simply need to show their Pattaya Grand Sale 2014 card to receive discounts. The cards can be obtained online at Trip2Pattaya.com, the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Pattaya office, Central Festival, participating hotels and TAT offices and shopping malls in Bangkok.
