🌏Klook Partners with Thailand Tourism 🌏 Thailand is a post-COVID success story, with tourist numbers rising fast. Leading travel platform Klook has signed a letter of intent with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to boost travel experiences in the country. Klook aims to double its bookings for tourism packages in Thailand this year. The focus is on unique experiences like Muay Thai matches, music festivals, Michelin-starred restaurants, and river cruises. This partnership allows Klook to offer seamless booking for major festivals and top attractions. Klook also plans to support smaller tour operators by providing digital tools to bring their offerings online, showcasing less obvious attractions to a global audience. Thailand's popularity is surging, with a 44% increase in foreign tourist arrivals over the past year. Other tour operators like EF World Journeys are seeing similar trends, with significant growth in bookings to Thailand. Travelers are spending more on luxury accommodations despite higher airfares, indicating a robust travel market. Thailand's collaboration with Klook and other tour operators is helping the country maintain its status as a top travel destination.

Interesting article Macau Business. Having hosted small and large events that exceeded 100 000 visitors for some events in Career - what’s important is the economic impact. The type of events we attract and the value they create for the destination. Does the event/concert goers stay,eat and play in Macau? If not - the question that has to be asked if who is benefiting from hosted events. Do we measure job creation, induced tourism +++? We only then truly understand the events that deliver on our economic diversity targets. A former venue that I worked at Cape Town International Convention Centre always worked with the Graduate School of Business - University of Cape Town on producing the venues economic impact report annually. This gave us a true measure of what the events industry delivered to the economy- on a city, state and national level. Would be happy to discuss the topic with experts.

Intellectual Property and Tourism "Tourism, cultural events and IP: a long-standing partnership. Events and festivals are major tourism assets, because they attract visitors to the host destination. Events generate an immediate economic benefit not only for the organizers, but also for local communities and businesses.Tourism destinations can develop new tourism products within their event marketing strategy, whether through film, theater, music festivals or celebrations of historic anniversaries. Many countries and destinations see heritage and culture – including indigenous music and recordings of local artists and performers – as an asset in fully developing their tourism sector. The effective management of creative industries is vital to the success of the destination’s branding strategy and the IP system is at the center of this strategy. Museums and other cultural heritage institutions are major catalysts for tourism. Culture and heritage allow the tourism sector to create distinctive destinations and enrich the visitor experience. IP, and particularly copyright, laws are an important mechanism for promoting, enriching and disseminating cultural heritage. There are many opportunities for museums to leverage their assets and goodwill in ways that support and advance their mission. In turn, tourism generates substantial economic returns, which justify any investment made in safeguarding cultural heritage and which can be channeled back into conservation projects and boosting local employment." #intellectualproperty #tourism ##cultural #museum #digital #economic
