Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit announces its cooperation with 5 leading business and strategic partners for Tourism 2021 recovery plan with the launching of the “One Million Baht Club”, the first privilege package from Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit in Thailand.
 
The press conference is honorably attended by Mr. Vitavas Vibhagool, Chief Executive Officer - Property Development, Grande Asset Hotels and Property Public Company Limited; Mr. Sammy Carolus, General Manager, Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit Hotel; Ms. Artirat Charukitpipat, Chief Executive Officer, Bumrungrad International Hospital; Ms. Saruntorn Asaves – Assistant Managing Director, Siam Piwat Company Limited.
 
Mr. Vitavas Vibhagool, Chief Executive Officer - Property Development, Grande Asset Hotels and Property Public Company Limited, said “Today’s initiative heralds the cooperation of leading companies and organizations aiming to boost and revitalize the Thai tourism and hospitality industry for its recovery in 2021. After a period of closing down in early 2020, Thailand has performed very well to control and eliminate the Covid-19 epidemic. Hotels under Grande Asset Hotels and Property, including Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit, have been upgraded and all adhere to the strictest and highest standards of hygiene safety for domestic travelers and are prepared to welcome back international tourists.
According to recent research by Krungthai COMPASS research center, the Thai economy would shrink by as much as 8.8% this year. It’s also estimated Thailand’s tourism sector revenue could shrink by 70 percent, with only 900 billion baht revenue expected, much less than the figure prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was 3 trillion baht.  The drop in the number of international tourists next year, ranging from only 900,000 persons or as many as 14 million, based on government policy, adds to the uncertainty making it difficult for the tourism sector to fully recover.
​
Mr. Tanes Petsuwan, Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications of Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has outlined a range of measures being taken by TAT to stimulate and promote domestic tourism to help the industry recover. “TAT focuses on promoting domestic tourism for Thai and expats residing in Thailand and also foreign tourists by developing the confidence of tourists through the implementation of the Hygiene Safety Standards Project and the Amazing Thailand Safety & Health Administration (SHA) to raise the level of public health standards for Thai tourism products and services. Also, we established the marketing communication direction under the concept of Amazing Thailand Trusted Destination to reflect the preparation of all sectors in the tourism industry such as airports, airlines, public transport systems, hotels, restaurants, etc. It also includes all of the Thai people who joined the implementation of public health measures to deliver the utmost confidence to all visitors. TAT will use this opportunity to adjust the image and branding of Thailand with a new focus on Quality Destination because we have identified an opportunity in Wellness and Sport Tourism.”
