How can I get more people to travel to Thailand?
Question: How can I get more people to travel to Thailand?
My Thai wife and I run a small travel business (TBF Travel) that offers custom and guided luxury adventure travel trips to Thailand. We have a great website and advertise but need more travelers. Our trips are for active people that want to spend a little more and stay in 4 and 5 star resorts. Any ideas to generate more business?

Hi…I worked as guide for some years and then I decided to open my own travel agency. I open Skanditours (Hua Hin) in 1998. I wanted to get more customers than I have from the street, so I make a complete catalog with all details about what trips I could offer including hotels etc, and then I send it to all the travel agencies in my homeland. Even many of the big agencies contact me and tell they like my programs. They start send down groups, so I did the hotel bookings, pick up at airport, transfer to hotel etc and of course get them on my tours. I get busy as never before. Have many groups comming always and open new offices in Pattaya and Koh Samui also. But after 6 years I had enough. At that time I work from 5 morning to midnight everyday. I have more than 20 minibuses everyday bringing pax on tours and airport etc.The income was huge, but it was to hard work. I sell my agency 2004 to a Greek guy, who runs it today. So take care it not take over. But try make a full program – what you can offer, and then try to send it to your home countries travel agencies. Maybe many have contacts already in Thailand, but then try make it better. Remember to make your own contracts with the hotels so you keep the 9% return commision for yourself. And don’t believe the thai guides you use. They get commision for elephantriding (the half go return in their pockets) boattrips, restaurants etc. But email me if you like.
