Thailand as Most Popular Asian Destination


17.03.2012
Thailand was named the "Asia's Most Popular Destination" for ninth year in a row by Go Asia, a marketing network that specialises in marketing Asia as a destination for travellers.

Members of the Go Asia network including tour operators, airlines, and tourism boards are eligible to vote in the poll. The award, together with many more extended to Thai organisations, was recently announced at the International Tourism Exchange (ITB) Berlin 2012, the world's leading B2B platform for the travel and tourism industry.

The network also honoured Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) as the "Best Asian Tourism Board". This is the fourth year in a row that they have also recognised the TAT as the best Asian tourism board.

Also in this year’s Go Asia awards, Thai Airways International received the "Best Asian Airline" award. In the private sector, the "Best Hotel in Asia" awards went to the Peninsula Bangkok, Siam@Siam Design Hotel & Spa, and the Mandarin Oriental Dara Dhevi in Chiang Mai.

"The TAT is honoured to again receive such a high level of recognition from those in the travel and tourism industry. The Thailand brand has tremendous appeal for millions of visitors from all over the world, while the Kingdom’s tourism sector strives to offer an everincreasing variety of unique and memorable experiences for visitors. This award will inspire us to continue developing Thailand as a destination of choice for international travellers from the Germanspeaking regions of Europe," said TAT Governor Suraphon Svetasreni at the ITB Go Asia Award gala night.
