Phuket will be promoted from mouth to mouth

[IMG=18460-4057] The return of demand for the Thai island Phuket will happen gradually, as new clients of the season come back from their trips and share their impressions with acquaintances and representatives of travel agencies. Experts came to this conclusion during the online-broadcast which was held on the 29th of November on the professional forum www.tourdom.ru Tatiana Dashkova (‘Rose of winds’) believe that apart from people sharing their experience of the destination, the factor of the delayed demand will take effect. ‘Many tourists who planed their trip to Phuket last winter will go there eventually. Such an effect was noticed on the Thai market after the atypical pneumonia or the chicken flue - the sales would practically stop for some time but half a year - a year later the flow of tourists would rise by 30% for the destination’, shared her opinion Ms Dashkova. Nevertheless, at the end of November the demand is still far from the expected. It is demonstrated by the level of minimal prices of travel packages formed on the basis of the first in the season charter Moscow-Phuket. (by ‘Transaero’). For example, on the 30th of November (this was the first flight of the program) operators were offering 10-days trips for only $499. Yet the representatives of companies-participants of this charter program believe that drawing any conclusions would be premature. ‘Indeed the demand for Phuket is very low at the moment, but we estimated the situation appropriately planning this program. We hope that the advertising tour for Phuket which leaves with the first flight will give positive results, as agency’s staff will see the real situation and will communicate the information to the clients’, said Tatiana Gradova (‘Bureau South Cross’) during the online-broadcast. Lubov Gulidova (‘Capital tour’) added: ‘Three New Year’s tours on charter programs are practically sold out, there are also good sales for January. Therefore, I would not make pessimistic prognoses in advance related to the destination’.
