Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, Director of Commercial for Thai AirAsia, explained that Phuket is one of the leading destinations for Chinese travelers to Thailand due to its many charms. He pointed out that Phuket holds many beliefs and traditions from China and the province shares much of its history with the nation. Moreover, Phuket is a tourist destination with natural attractions, lifestyle activities and unique nightlife, which makes it a popular choice for travellers.
"Our inaugural flight for the Phuket-Wuhan route will be on 1 February, which is also the start of the Chinese New Year Festival. During the long holiday, we would like to invite residents in and around Wuhan to visit Phuket to experience Thailand's world famous beaches and attractions. We are confident that AirAsia's low fares, strong on-time record and well-recognized brand in China will draw the people of Wuhan to Phuket and help stimulate its economy" Mr. Santisuk said.
For residents of Phuket, the new route is a great travel option as the city of Wuhan in central China is home to many tourist sites that should be familiar to Thai people such as the Yellow Crane Tower, Butung Mountain, Tiger Spirit Shrine, the Red Cliff and the Shrine of Kuan Yu. The route also brings about new trade and investment opportunities as Wuhan is a center for commerce in China. The introduction of a daily direct flight from Phuket to Wuhan is sure to stimulate the economies of both Thailand and China by offering convenient and readily available travel.
