Bangkok Post<\/a> cited a report published by international travel website Skift, which reveals popular beach resorts in Thailand charging the same amount for a nightly stay in Greece, Italy, Spain, and Turkey, making it more difficult to attract European travellers.<\/p>\n

Skift interviewed Europe-based tour operators for the study who shared that most of their clients were worried about the overdevelopment of tourist destinations in Thailand.<\/p>\n

Some even expressed their worries around the increasing focus given to Asian travellers, particularly Chinese, leaving their clients to feel unwelcome.<\/p>\n

In Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samet, a one night stay in a five-star resort, including American breakfast, costs USD500, revealed the oldest and most established tour operators in Thailand Diethelm Travel Group.<\/p>\n

The charge per night is the same as a five-star beach resort in Greece, Italy, and Spain, but is more expensive compared to USD350 nightly rate in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Diethelm also acknowledged that the rates for four-star beach hotels in Thailand showed a similar pattern.<\/p>\n

Over the last five years, the price of a vacation in Thailand rose by 30 percent because of the inflation rate and appreciation of the local currency, according to Stephan Roemer, Diethelm CEO.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the local currency\u2019s appreciation, \u201cmany Thai hotels have raised rates as they can count on Asian first-timers and repeat visitors to continue to flock to Thailand,\u201d Skift further revealed.<\/p>\n

The focus on Asian travellers, however, has become an issue for upmarket European guests.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the hotels have shifted their guest mix and sell a bigger percentage to the Chinese market. So the atmosphere in the hotel can change to the point where clients tell us they will not go back. This is a very important issue,\u201d said the general manager of Zurich-based tour operator Asia365 Ruth Landolt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
