TAT/Thaivisa’s Expat Explore and Inspire Thailand join forces
As local tourism suffers, its recovery is being helped by the unlikely heroes of the local expat community.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand joined forces with Thaivisa at the start of June to launch ‘Expat Explore’ designed to encourage expat travel in Thailand with low priced offers. The response from both the travel industry and the expat community has been overwhelming.
Eddie Somers from 15 Palms Resort in Koh Chang was one of the first resorts to promote on Expat Explore. “We certainly had a response as soon as we promoted our room promotion on Expat Explore”.
Likewise the Ramada Plaza Menam Hotel in Bangkok instantly had a response too – with their promotional video getting over 4,500 views in the first 4 hours. Clearly Expats are willing and want to travel – if the price is right.
The key now is to build some momentum and spread the word further and further. “It really is a win-win for both the local tourist industry and us Expats.” Said Dan Cheeseman, Thaivisa MD, “So it’s important we continue to develop the Expat Explore initiative and ensure, as expats, we continue to get the best deals long after this pandemic is over. We should never again be overlooked and now recognized as an important market for Thailand’s travel industry.”
Thaivisa partners up with local Expat Media ‘Inspire’ to further push the exposure
In order to get maximum exposure for the travel promotions featured on Expat Explore, Thaivisa has agreed with local Expat media ‘Inspire’, which operates in Bangkok, Pattaya and Hua Hin, that they will also share all offers onto their online platform. This includes websites, social networks and newsletters. This adds to their already partnership with Expat Vlogger, Dan about Thailand.
