More than 12,700 employees of Infinitus (China) Co Ltd were given a free trip to Thailand as part of an incentive tour.
Juthaporn Rerngronasa, accting governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, revealed that Bangkok and Pattaya will be the key destinations of the tour which will be arranged in a series. She expected total spending of about Bt600 million from the tour, which starts from May 10 to May 26.
During the period, a series of tours are organised, bringing in about 3,000 employees each time. Each group will stay for six nights at four- to five-star hotels. They will demand a total of 38,000 hotel rooms. The employees will be flown in by 110 flights.
Juthaporn said that their arrivals would boost the low-season tourism market.
"The report on a Chinese company's free trip to 6,400 employees to France was widely shared in social media. Indeed, Thailand is also a key destination of Chinese companies' incentive tours," she said.
Infinitus (China) manufactures and distributes skincare, healthcare, and beauty care products.
To celebrate the company's 20th birthday, Tiens Group, a Chinese conglomerate, last week offered an all expenses paid trip to France to more than 6,000 employees.
