webfact Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Chiang Mai Hotels Slash Room Rates to Attract More Guests Subhabhong Rarueysong CHIANG MAI (NNT) - Chiang Mai hoteliers have slashed their room rates by up to 90% during the off-peak season to attract more guests with weaker purchasing power. Thai Hotels Association’s northern chapter President La-Iad Bungsrithong said tourists mostly flock to beach destinations in the South in March, prompting operators in the province to prepare for the upcoming low season. She said the occupancy rate in March dropped to less than 3% and that trend will continue in April, which is expected to see 3-5% of occupancy despite the Songkran celebration. According to Mrs La-Iad, even though vaccine distribution has started globally, the target markets for Chiang Mai such as China still cannot take outbound trips, and operators have to rely on the domestic market for the whole year. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-03-08 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommers Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The hoteliers have little chance of attracting business. The pollution is one issue but the other is that in general people are loth to spend money on travel especially by air. The special promotion of low airfares in the government domestic tourism campaign last year saw only 40% uptake of available seats illustrates just how reluctant people are to venture any distance.

robertson468 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 If the Local Authorities grew a pair and stopped the slashing and burning, particularly the plantations owned by the Companies, the air would become much cleaner and the visitors would return. Until that happens, keep dreaming folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
