Opening of the 30th Thailand International Travel Expo

NDO - On January 16, the 30th Thailand International Travel Fair opened in Bangkok with the participation of hundreds of travel companies, tour operators as well as tourism and transportation service providers from Thailand and several other countries. Attending the event were Ms. Thapanee Kiatpgaibool, Director General of the Tourism Authority of Thailand; Ambassadors and representatives of embassies of several countries. Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Pham Viet Hung attended the event.

Thailand International Travel Fair (TITF) is one of the biggest tourism promotion activities of the year for tourism in Thailand. The annual event is organized by the Thai Travel Agents Association (TTAA) to promote the tourism industry, encourage people to travel in Thailand as well as travel to other countries.

The organizers expect more than 300,000 visitors to this year's Fair.

In an interview with Nhan Dan Newspaper’s correspondent in Thailand, Ambassador Pham Viet Hung said that this is the first and largest annual tourism fair in Thailand. The participation of Vietnamese businesses in this fair has a great effect in promoting and attracting Thai tourists to Vietnam, as well as international tourists to Thailand to continue visiting Vietnam.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Pham Viet Hung was interviewed by Nhan Dan Newspaper's correspondent based in Thailand.

Ambassador Pham Viet Hung affirmed that the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand always pays the best attention and support possible to help Vietnamese businesses in all fields, including aviation and tourism, to operate and succeed in the Thai market.

One of the strengths that TITF attracts many visitors is that travel companies and agents sell travel combos so that visitors can freely choose according to their conditions without being constrained like when traveling on a tour.

Vietnam travel combos received much attention from visitors to the Fair.

At the fair, visitors can buy travel combos specializing in air tickets, hotels, transportation or combined combo packages in addition to wanting to buy package tours.

Mr. Ngo Tri Hung, Head of Vietnam Airlines branch in Thailand said: “TITF is an annual fair in Thailand organized by the Thai Travel Service Association. There are many travel agencies, airlines from Thailand as well as other countries, and tourism departments coming here to promote and introduce to Thai people. Vietnam Airlines participates in this fair with the purpose of introducing tourism potential. We are a 4-star airline of Skytrax and we have a very high flight frequency to Bangkok, with currently 7 flights/day and in the near future will be 9 flights/day between Bangkok and Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. Therefore, this is a good opportunity to promote our products to Thai people.”

Regarding promoting tourism development between Vietnam and Thailand, Mr. Ngo Tri Hung affirmed that organizing TITF at this time is also a good opportunity to connect tourists between the two countries during the upcoming Lunar New Year peak as well as the Thai Songkran Festival in April.

This year is the 18th year that TTAA has organized the Thailand International Travel Fair to promote and advertise tourism activities in Thailand. The 30th Thailand International Travel Fair was held on an area of over 10,000 square meters with over 600 booths of Thai and international companies.

TTAA expects the Fair to generate at least 300 million baht in revenue. This year’s event will run until January 19, 2025.
