Pattaya, 2nd April 2018: Pattaya is a seaside resort on the Eastern Gulf Coast of Thailand
about 150 km southeast of Bangkok. Pattaya is mostly famous for its go-go and
beer bars, but local authorities have made some efforts to provide more
family-friendly attractions and activities.
“It is not possible in India, although the sex
industry is still going strong and sex tourism remains the key money earner for
Pattaya, the resort also attracts local families and holidaymakers from around
the world,” said Sandeep Marwah Managing Director of National Federation of
Tourism And Transport Cooperatives of India Limited at press meet at Hilton
Hotels and Resorts at Pattaya.
Pattaya
attracts 8 million tourists in a year. Thailand, Russia and China were the top
three markets for Pattaya with a combined market share of 59 per cent.
They were followed by Germany and Taiwan, thus displacing the British who have
traditionally been seen as the largest foreign group.
“Looking back, tourism growth in Pattaya
entered a new age with the opening of Suvarnabhumi international airport in
2006 and the subsequent opening of the fast-track motorway linking to the
Eastern Seaboard resort.” Added Marwah also President of Asian Institute of
Hospitality and Tourism.
