Thailand wants to boost tourism with a special campaign. For just 1 Thai baht per night, tourists can stay in a hotel in the city of Chiang Mai during a certain period of time. That’s the equivalent of just a few cents.
Guests in the popular Thai city of Chiang Mai can now stay in a hotel for just one baht a night. The Harmonize Hotel campaign was launched in cooperation with the Tourism Authority TAT and the app Robinhood.
She has already attracted a lot of attention on social networks, as reported by Thai media. The campaign is intended to boost tourism in Thailand in the wake of the corona pandemic.
Chiang Mai is located in northern Thailand
Interested parties can enter the code CNX1 when booking in the app until August 7th to gain access to the bargain price. The only condition: the overnight stay must have taken place by October 31st. The goal is to attract more visitors to Chiang Mai in the second half of the year, said TAT director for Thailand’s northern regions, Saraswadee Asasapphakit. The aim is a hotel occupancy rate of 55 percent.
The tourism sector, which is important for Thailand, had come to an almost complete standstill due to the pandemic and is only slowly recovering. Chiang Mai in the north is surrounded by imposing mountain ranges and is best known for its magnificent temples. Before Corona, the city was one of the most popular travel destinations in the country.
