It serves to the benefit of Phuket's hotels and restaurants which enjoy a surge of custom before, during and after "Regatta Week."

Dr. Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, Executive Vice President for Marketing of Central Pattana Public Company Limited, said, "It is the second year of our sponsorship of the Phuket King's Cup Regatta. This event will support Phuket and help it to move forward as a well-recognized center for luxury beach and sea visitors. We are certain about the Regatta's potential because it was named Best Asian Regatta for three straight years. It attracts people from around the world such as athletes, tourists and media, helping to drive and develop the local economy in Phuket."

He continues, "To be harmonious with the business direction of CPN, we constructed Central Phuket which was always set to become a World Class Shopping Destination for locals and tourist from all over the world. There are brand name stores available, plus the innovation of merging modern retail with Thai culture and historical elements. It also features one of the largest underwater world in Thailand. The most important thing is that CPN notices a position and the potential of Phuket as a heart of tourism for the region. Phuket has readiness in every way for welcoming and leaving a great impression for all visiting guests."

This is certainly an important year that represents the growing success of the Regatta, from a small event into the best regional regatta. Our sponsors enjoy significant engagement opportunities, both with the yachting community and with the general public at large, for whom this race represents a considerable attraction. Support from CPN will help the growth of Phuket's economic performance in the hospitality & tourism sector."
