Thailand
ranked fifth in world’s top 10 honeymoon destinations
New York / Bangkok, 11 February, 2014 – Thailand is
fifth in the world for people using the Internet to seek out a romantic
setting for their honeymoons. The kingdom’s ranking, which placed it
firmly in the top five international destinations in 2013 searched via
the world’s favourite search engine Google, was confirmed by an article
published on Fodor’s Travel, one of the USA’s leading travel websites.
On 9 January 2014, the website fodors.com hosted an
article called The
World’s Best Honeymoon Destinations for 2014, which stated
that “Thailand is perfect for couples who want to enjoy a mix of
activities, from city excursions and nightlife, to mountain trekking,
beach-combing and shopping in modern malls as well as outdoor food and
flower markets.”
The Google survey and the Fodor travel article show
that the kingdom is one of those foremost in people’s minds when seeking
out romantic destinations, according to the Tourism Authority of
Thailand’s (TAT) New York Office.
In the Google rankings, Thailand came fifth for
searches, after New Zealand, Cancun, The Maldives and Bali. The kingdom
ranked ahead of Belize, St. Lucia, Tahiti, Caribbean and Croatia.
Mr. Thawatchai Arunyik, Governor of the Tourism
Authority of Thailand, said, “This is great news for the Thai tourism
industry. It clearly shows that TAT’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness
of what the kingdom can offer, via marketing, promotions and an
interactive online presence has built awareness of Thailand as a romantic
destination and an ideal place to wed or come for honeymoons. And this is
on a website that processed nearly six billion searches a day in 2013.”
 Thailand’s reputation as
a destination that offers luxury-travel experiences has been built up
over decades and there are many world-class resorts and hotels around the
nation that have great expertise in catering for couples seeking
memorable wedding and honeymoons.
The growth in the number of private luxury pool
villas available in many parts of the kingdom is one of the factors that
make Thailand so alluring for couples. Such accommodation allows for
absolute privacy, comfort and style – the perfect honeymoon atmosphere.
Such villas tend to boast both private swimming pools and beachfront
views, making them ideal for anyone who wants the best of both worlds –
gorgeous beaches and perfect privacy.
