Dr. Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Central Pattana plc, said: "Blooming Summer 2022 is one of the grand campaigns to celebrate Central Pattana's 40th anniversary in 2022. The campaign aims to create the best summer destinations at all of our branches throughout the nation to stimulate cross-regional tourism, in particular, during the long holiday season. We're creating a 'Tourism Multiplier' effect by organizing the most successful and largest travel fair in the heart of the city - the 3rd 'Dream Vacation' at centralwOrld, which will gather together more than 100 leading hotels and resorts, with their special travel packages from all over the country, into one place. We are ready to be a driving force that will help drive the economy and the country's important tourism ecosystem in line with the government's economic recovery measures. We are confident that the situation in the country will improve as the overall picture is moving in a positive direction, especially during the long holiday, when people travel back to their hometowns to spend time with their families, hang out and eat out together, resulting in bustling spending, which creates better money circulation in the country. It is expected that the campaign will increase our customer traffic by more than 20%."
Dr. Nattakit added: "This year, we are highlighting our strategy of being an 'Experience Curator' by using Central Pattana's expertise to create new experiences of more than 1,000 events per year along with our continued success in creating communities of food, family, art and sport in order to design the elements of the campaign to meet various lifestyles. We are creating consumer engagement through different activities at each branch. Now is the era of 'Personalized Experience' because people's lifestyles can change at any time and are no longer limited by age or gender. In addition, we are ready to open an activity area called 'Community Flower Market' to create a place for better community, with local flower markets in the Summer Market zone to reflect community identity, promote local pride, help drive the economy and spread income to the community and local farmers. At the same time, we have prepared a great Songkran event to carry on our tradition and culture, following the government's policy and inviting everyone to Song Nam Phra (pour water) on revered monks, and make digital donations."
