Chaophya Park Hotel was one of the most vocal and proactive hotel establishments during the recent airport take-over crisis in Bangkok, Thailand.

Immediately after the airports were re-opened, the hotel met with Barbara Morf from the Bangkok hotelsโ€™s European representative, Swiss Sales. The aim of the meeting was โ€œto discuss a Thailand marketing recovery plan and to ensure that just the right ingredients are added for success,โ€ according to hotel manager Andrew Wood.

Mr. Wood added, “Business is steady improving, arrivals are increasing by approximately 12-15 percent per week since the Bangkok airports re-opened.”

He added: “We are already at 70 percent occupancy and for a few days next week we break through 80 percent. We are smiling once again and Chaophya Park Hotels & Resorts, after an intense marketing campaign to its worldwide business partners, to promote Thailand’s recovery.”

Mr. Wood said his hotel is โ€œlooking forward to a better new Year 2009, than we were just a month ago.”
