Hua Hin, Thailand, October 23, 2020 / TRAVELINDEX / Banyan Thailand, the active lifestyle community in Hua Hin, has teamed up with a number of respected tourism and leisure partners in the region to launch “We Love Hua Hin” – a joint destination marketing initiative designed to make it even more rewarding for guests to spend a domestic holiday on Thailand’s glittering Gulf Coast.

The campaign was officially launched at a kick-off event attended by key stakeholders and official dignitaries, including Mr. Panlop Singhaseni, Governor of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Ms. Soraya Homchuen, Director for Hua Hin and Cha Am at the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), and Mr. Tjeert Kwant, CEO of Banyan Thailand.

“We Love Hua Hin” unites tourism and hospitality providers in Hua Hin and the province of Prachuap Khiri Khan to create a comprehensive visitor experience that includes luxury hospitality, health and wellness, gastronomy, leisure attractions and sporting activities.

The concept, initiated by Banyan Thailand, builds on the Banyan Privilege Club, which connects members, mainly local consumers, with partners such as renowned brands like InterContinental, Centara, Anantara, Hyatt Regency, Chiva-Som, V Villas, True Arena, Holiday Inn, Vana Nava Waterpark, Banyan Golf Club and others, offering exclusive deals and promotions for every traveler.

Locals in Thailand can book a holiday at Banyan Village, an exclusive resort nestled in picturesque scenery just a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok, or at one of the first-class hotels and resorts of Privilege partners. Attractive packages such as "Stay and Play," which includes accommodation in a villa and golf at the award-winning Banyan Golf Club or one of the partner clubs, are offered for golf enthusiasts and those who want to try the sport for the first time. Banyan Village is an ideal destination for Thais and expats who want to feel at home. Every guest receives a complimentary membership to the Banyan Privilege Club, which offers numerous attractive benefits in and around Hua Hin.

Sports enthusiasts can tee off on the 18-hole championship course at the Banyan Golf Club or take professional lessons at the golf academy. For tennis and water sports fans, the Banyan Privilege Club offers attractive packages in cooperation with numerous partners. Wellness seekers can enjoy special half-day or full-day treatment packages at the world-leading Chiva-Som retreat. Health-conscious guests also benefit from a discounted registration fee at the Be Well Medical Center, the Banyan Thailand's own clinic.

For varied entertainment, there's a 15% discount on day tickets to Vana Nava Waterpark, as well as activities like tennis at the True Arena. Furthermore, sociable guests and food lovers can enjoy discounts at numerous restaurants and beach clubs, including many of Hua Hin's leading hotels and resorts.

“We are delighted to launch the ‘We Love Hua Hin’ campaign together with the TAT and our valued local partners. It has not been an easy year for the tourism industry, but it is heartwarming to see the community come together and champion our beautiful destination, which offers so much of what makes Thailand a world-leading travel destination,” said Tjeert Kwant, CEO of the Banyan Group.

“We all have our own personal reasons for loving Hua Hin, and it is our pleasure to share these with our members, partners, and other businesses – as well as, of course, the government and the TAT in the Hua Hin region. This sense of mutual cooperation will help us grow stronger and accelerate our recovery.
