The Pattaya Grand Sale is underway for another year and city officials
are hoping the 10-week campaign provides a substantive boost to low
season tourism revenues.
Top area government officials and tourism industry executives hailed the
start of the campaign July 17 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.
“The discounts and benefits tourist will receive are
quite special,” said Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome. “Plus, access to
promotional officers and information is much easier this year, thanks to
sponsors Visa International and Advanced Info Services.”
The mayor said the sale, now in its fifth year, gained new support from
area spas, hotels, restaurants, and golf courses. The sale runs through
Sept. 30.
Sale Director Prayuth Tamthum said 74 hotels, 20 spas, 10 shopping
centers, seven golf courses and 15 tourist attractions are participating
this year. Tourists simply need to show their Pattaya Grand Sale 2013
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.
