Halen mat Reesen a Vakanz Trends

BANGKOK, Thailand – It seems that the global economy is slowly coming around, which is good news, of course, for almost every industry, including travel and tourism. Yet, even with the upswings, many have learned valuable lessons after their economies took a sharp nose dive, and they began watching their budgets re-thinking how they would spend their hard-earned dollars.

Today’s travelers use the Internet more as they search for specials, deals, and value. They eat at less-expensive restaurants, and they shop less. The bottom line and the good news is, those with a penchant to travel are still going on holidays – they are just, in general, spending less.

Following the trends and the market, Centara Hotels & Resorts has announced that it will further expand its presence in Phuket with the addition of a second Centra value brand hotel on the island, signing a management contract for a new property that is being built in Bangtao.

Centara, Thailand’s leading operator of hotels, has four of its brands in Phuket, extending its reach across a range of tourism market segments.

The management contract was signed at the Centara head office in Bangkok on July 24 with owning company Adler Group Co. Ltd., with the opening expected during August 2016.
