Bangkok (Thailand) – March 14, 2016 (travelindex.com) – Thailand's tourism prospects are more promising than ever. This is the opinion of Klaus Sennik, an experienced expert in the Thai hotel industry and General Manager of the legendary Ramada Plaza Bangkok Menam Riverside Hotel.

Klaus Sennik said in Berlin, where he represented the hotel at the annual ITB travel trade show, that Thailand could expect another year of impressive growth.

“We have had very positive and encouraging discussions with buyers from the travel industry across a wide range of source markets. We will further strengthen our relationships with leading German tour operators and continue our partnerships with local and international travel agencies,” said Klaus Sennik. “They love the food, the weather, the shopping, the sights, and above all, the warm hospitality of the Thai people.”

“I was delighted to see Thailand’s Minister of Tourism and Sports, Khun Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, again, who took the time to visit our booth at the ITB in Berlin. She is very confident that Thailand will welcome well over 30 million international visitors in 2016, and I fully share her optimistic forecast.”

Klaus Sennik assured the offices of the Tourism Authority of Thailand in German-speaking countries of his continued support in their efforts to promote Thailand's many tourist attractions and was very pleased to welcome the Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Yuthasak Supasorn, to the hotel's exhibition stand.

“European guests in particular appreciate our riverfront location in Bangkok, with its easy access to the city’s popular shopping and tourist attractions. The Chinese market will also continue to grow this year, as China’s expanding middle class continues to travel to Northeast and Southeast Asian countries,” explained Klaus Sennik. “Although Bangkok is a considerable distance from the American mainland, the city remains attractive to experienced travelers. Tourists from Australia and New Zealand are taking advantage of the excellent flight connections to visit Thailand in large numbers. This is sure to be another great year for Thai tourism.”
