Tourism Authority of Thailand hosted its fourth luxury roadshow in India in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. This was the third luxury roadshow for the Mumbai market. Its first edition was held in Mumbai and Delhi and since then, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Ahmedabad joined the fray. The roadshow witnessed 14 business partners from Thailand including hotels from KohSamui, Phuket and some hotels having properties all over Thailand ranging from four to five star categories and two DMC companies. Commenting on this, SorayaHomchuen, Director, Tourism Authority of Thailand in Mumbai, said, “We see great potential for the luxury market in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The spending power of Indian tourists has increased tremendously and therefore we see a demand for luxury products. With this luxury roadshow we try to offer new luxury products to the market. We expect an increase between 5-6 per cent growth from the Indian luxury market.” TAT also plans to bring the luxury roadshow to Bengaluru and other potential cities next year. Until August this year Thailand has witnessed around 7.9 lakh Indian tourists and by the end of 2016 they expect to reach the target of 1.1 million tourists from India.”
