Laguna Phuket launches Free Room Night Promotion

In a move to help stimulate tourism to Phuket, Laguna Resorts & Hotels in cooperation with the Tourism Authority of Thailand has launched a “100,000 Smiles in Laguna Phuket” promotion.

The global marketing initiative features six Laguna Phuket hotels offering up to 100,000 complimentary room nights in an attempt to reverse the slowdown in tourist arrivals to the holiday island of Phuket.

“It seems incredible to offer this many room nights,” said Laguna Resorts & Hotels’ Managing Director, Mr Michael Ayling, “But guests simply book online at their preferred hotel’s website to take advantage of the one free night offer for every paid booking. Our somewhat daring initiative coincides with the launch of our redesigned Laguna Phuket website and will help drive traffic to the new site, as well as generating bookings for the upcoming low season.”

TAT Governor, Ms Phornsiri Manoharn is lending the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s full support to the Laguna Phuket campaign. She said, “We applaud Laguna’s bold incentive to attract visitors to the Kingdom. In these challenging times everyone in Thailand’s tourism industry must work hard together and help each other to restore our declining tourism numbers. We really hope that this promotion brings 100,000 smiling faces to visit Thailand.”

The “100,000 Smiles in Laguna Phuket” promotion offers a one month booking window from 1st to 31st March for stays from 15th March until 15th December 2009.

The promotion is available utilizing Best Available Rates at Banyan Tree Phuket, Sheraton Grande Laguna, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, Laguna Beach Resort, Laguna Phuket Holiday Residences or Laguna Holiday Club Phuket Resort.

Those who book online at the hotels’ respective websites between 1st to 31st March 2009 will receive one complimentary night’s stay on the consecutive night at the Best Available Rates that are only found online.

It should be noted that a minimum of 2 paid nights is required for bookings at the Sheraton Grande Laguna during April, July, August, October, November and December. Only one night is required at the other hotels.
