Thai tourism bodies join hands to ease flood suffering

  Thai tourism bodies join hands to ease flood suffering

THE TOURISM Council of Thailand (TCT), in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau, has organised two hosted tours for up to 1,000 people affected by the floods in the country.

The hosted tours are part of an initiative by TCT to convince overseas visitors that the majority of tourism sites remain undisturbed by floodwaters.

The first tour for 500 flood-affected individuals to Siam Park City, a water and amusement park, was conducted on October 22.

Another tour, with scheduled visits to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Grand Palace and Phra Chetuphon Vimonmangklaram Temple, will be held on October 30.

The tours are jointly supported by Siam Park City, the Thai Boat Association, Riverside Bangkok Hotel, Hong Thong Group, the Thai Restaurants Association, and the Tourist Guide Association of Thailand.
