  • A Case Study of the Tourism Industry in Thailand
    Journal of the International Academy for Case Studies Volume 23, Number 1, 2017 SURVIVAL OF A MARKET LEADER IN A REGIONAL INTEGRATION OF EMERGING ECONOMIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IN THAILAND Nittaya Wongtada, National Institute of Development Administration Donyapreuth Krairit, National Institute of Development Administration CASE DESCRIPTIONS The primary subject matter of this case concerns tourism industry, industry analysis and competition, ethics and social conflict management. Secondary issues examined include alternative analysis, alternative response selection. The case has a difficulty level of five, appropriate for first year graduate level. The case is designed to be taught in 2 class hours and is expected to require 2 hours of outside preparation by students CASE SYNOPSIS In September 2016, the committee of the National Tourism Policy of Thailand held consecutive meetings to consider the National Tourism Development Plan for 2017-2021. Accounting for 8.5 percent of GDP in 2015, the tourism industry was important to the country. Following the Thai military coup in May 2014, the nation’s economy had been in shambles. The revenue from tourism was more vital to the economy than ever. However, this industry brought many problems to the society, including increased natural resource deterioration and crime syndicates. Competition from other destinations, including ASEAN member countries, was becoming more intense and could be a future threat to the industry since international tourism flows will be diverted. Economic recession in several sources of tourists was a looming threat. The massive rising of Chinese tourists was serendipitous, as the country’s revenue from this group was dominating the inflow travel trade, but it is too risky to rely on a single market.

  • THE CENTRAL EMBASSY in BANGKOK a New Icon of the West in the East?
    LLidiaidia GercGerc The Scientific Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Vienna Polish Institute of World Art Studies THE CENTRAL EMBASSY IN BANGKOK A new icon of the West in the East? urrent realities have promoted a migration of charismatic artists. Wojciech Kosinski notes that, in a way, it has created a global colonisa- tion – “an export in the creation of skyscrapers from the West to the C1) East” – which results in the shift of the leading centres of the skyscrapers construction to the Middle and Far East.”2) In the aftermath of the rapid develop- ment and urbanisation of Asia, the demand for tall architecture has significantly increased. One of the most striking examples of this phenomenon is the city of Dubai, where the newly erected buildings have changed the city’s skyline. The same has happened in other cities, where modern, tall buildings exist either alongside traditional buildings, or have replaced them completely. High-rise buildings first appeared on a large scale in the United States. Although they had also started to appear in Latin America (Sao Paulo, Santiago, Caracas, Bogota and Mexico City) since the early 1930s, it is Asia that has domi- nated this area: for instance the cities of Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, as well as the city in question – Bangkok. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a rapidly growing metropolis, and the 22ⁿd most populous city in the world. It is also an extremely diverse city where traditional, multi-storey buildings neighbour closely with districts dominated by contemporary architecture. Even taller buildings are rising along the main public transport lines, which has made huge cranes a new landmark of the city’s landscape.

  • The Vietnam War and Tourism in Bangkok's Development, 1960-70
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 39, No.2. September 2001 The Vietnam War and Tourism in Bangkok's Development, 1960-70 Porphant OUYYANONT* Abstract This paper explores the reasons behind Bangkok's rapid growth in the 1960s, concentrating on two particular influences: the Vietnam War and its related developments. and the first significant upsurge in tourism. It is suggested that US military involvement in the Vietnam War had a significant impact on the development of Bangkok's service and construction industries. Particularly important was a major burst of construction activity in the 1960s: new suburbs developed and hotels and other commercial building sprang up. The financial. commercial and tourist industries experienced rapid growth, and construc­ tion followed in their wake. The presence of the US military in Vietnam indirectly induced an influx of foreign direct investment boosting the growth of industry in Bangkok. Tourism added to the expansion of services and construction. Among the reasons for the increase in tourism were the stable political atmosphere and the development of Bangkok as a crossroads of international air transportation. The hotel industry and retail industry both expanded rapidly due to tourist demand. I Introduction The 1960s was a crucial decade in the history of Bangkok. It was a period which saw an astonishing pace of development. in road building, housing development. hotels. and in various other ways. In 1950 Bangkok was still a relatively small city, with a population of some one million. Canals still dominated movement, and samlor (pedal samlor) plied all the main streets. By 1960 many canals had been filled in, new roads took their place, and the samlor was disappearing.

  • Study of Sightseeing Bus Service for Tourists on the Rattanakosin Island in Bangkok
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 Study of Sightseeing Bus Service for Tourists on the Rattanakosin Island in Bangkok Jittichai RUDJANAKANOKNAD* Peerasan Rattanasuwan Assistant Professor Graduate Student Department of Civil Engineering Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering Faculty of Engineering Chulalongkorn University Chulalongkorn University Phayatai Road, Patumwan, Bangkok Patumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand 10330 Thailand Fax: +66-2-251-7304 Fax: +66-02-251-7304 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This manuscript presents the analysis of tourists’ demand and preferences regarding sightseeing bus service in the Rattanakosin Island area, an old town of Bangkok. Initially, there was a sightseeing bus service running through major attractions in the area; however, it was closed down by Bangkok Government due to unpopularity and some legal issues. This study’s objectives are to understand tourists’ demands and attitudes for the service and to seek an appropriate sightseeing bus service that could satisfy them. It was done through a survey of 105 Thai and 105 foreign tourists around the area. It was found that both groups of tourists are interested in using the service. However, they prefer different service arrangements, i.e., Thai tourists prefer a tram-like vehicle with a shorter travel time and less expensive fare; however, the foreign ones like a more comfortable vehicle with longer trip time and higher fare. In conclusion, two distinct types of service would be developed for each tourist group due to their different preferences. The findings from this research stresses the importance of tourist-based transportation study that would help tour operators and city governments to better plan travel and sightseeing service for tourists in a city.
