Bangkok Market

It seems that tourism is having a hard time these days. At the same time tourism is still very important for the economy of many countries. It is a major economic factor in the Kingdom of Thailand, contributing an estimated 6.7% to Thailand’s GDP in 2007. But the unrest in Bangkok have cost Thailand an estimated 7.5 billion baht (approximately 182 million euro or 232 million US dollars) in tourism revenues for the months March and April, based on international arrival numbers. The Tourism Authority of Thailand expects the sector to recover in the third quarter if the political crisis is resolved soon.

And this leads to new opportunities. “There are many foreign people who want to come and live in Thailand but they want to be secure” says Hans Spilker, Managing Director of Beach Home Care. In an interview Hans Spilker explained us that it is a matter of demand and supply. “In September this year we will accommodate many elderly Germans and Dutchmen who will get all care and security they need. Beach Home Care provide three different worry-free packages, all including an own peaceful townhouse near the beach.

The main marketing slogan for promoting Thailand internationally was “Amazing Thailand”, but, in reaction to the 2009 tourism crisis, it was relaunched as “Amazing Thailand, Amazing Value”.
