[Zunyi Conference Site Hotel Price] Thailand sets the lowest price for China tour groups.

A few days ago, the Thai authorities held a meeting with representatives of Thailand's tourism industry to crack down on tour fees, and reached four resolutions, including setting a minimum price of 1 1,000 baht (about 1 9 1 RMB) per person per night for tour groups in China. The tourism understanding resolution also includes other aspects, that is, the total price of additional tourism projects should not exceed 3000 baht (about 573 yuan); All parties cooperate to crack down on illegal tour guides; Find more Chinese tour guides in at least 30 days to cope with the upcoming tourist season. The Thai media Daily News reported that after the participants reached the above resolution, the relevant regulations will be implemented from 65438+10.5.

Thailand has set a price ceiling for additional tourism projects to prevent practitioners from taking tourists to participate in too many unnecessary projects. In addition, Thailand will set reference prices for all levels of tour groups, and the specific price plan will be announced and implemented before the end of the year. Tourism reminds everyone that at this meeting, the Thai authorities accepted some suggestions made by representatives of the tourism industry, such as setting up a Committee organized by representatives of the government and the tourism industry as soon as possible to supervise the implementation of relevant regulations; The price of renting 40 coaches (including the driver's employment fee) shall not exceed 5,000 baht (about RMB 955); Relevant banks provide loans for tour operators to buy tour buses, and so on.

Bian Xiao learned from relevant parties that since the Thai government cracked down on zero tour fees in early September, the number of tourists from China to Thailand once declined. Among them, tourists from some provinces and cities in China decreased by 30%. During the National Day holiday in China, the Tourism Authority of Thailand predicted that 280,000 China tourists would go to Thailand. 1515, the Thai authorities lowered this expectation to 220,000, 30% higher than that in 20 15. According to the forecast of the number of tourists from China to Thailand in the whole year, the number of tourists from Thailand dropped from100000 to 9.3 million, while the number of tourists from China to Thailand in 20 15 was 7.9 million.

In the view of Thai authorities and the tourism industry, cracking down on zero tour fees has dealt a great blow to Thailand's tourism industry, but in the long run, it is conducive to the healthy and upward development of Thailand's tourism industry. Therefore, even if there is a strong pain at present or for a period of time, the Thai government and the tourism industry must make up their minds to eradicate the chronic disease of zero tour fee. In this regard, Thai government departments and tourism need new cooperation. The Thailand Tourism Association said that the next step would be to explain to the tourism practitioners the government's specific policies on the lowest price for tourists from China, so as to promote the smooth transition of the tourism market during the period of zero tour fee. The staff of the China Embassy in Thailand also said that China has been actively cooperating with the Thai tourism department to solve the problems of free tour fees and low-cost tours. Although it has brought a certain degree of blow to Thailand's tourism industry in the short term, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in the long run. The Tourism Bureau also believes that through this rectification, tourists visiting Thailand will feel more and more at ease.
