AirAsia is offering 1, 00,000 free tickets to Thailand under a regional marketing campaign, ‘Get Your Baht To Thailand’ (a play on Thai currency) to support its tourism industry which was battered by the recent political unrest. The sale of these free tickets commenced yesterday and will be on till tomorrow. These tickets are for travel between January 6, 2009 and March 31, 2009 and can only be purchased online at AirAsia's website. The airline is giving tickets to Bangkok from Vietnam, Cambodia, Myammar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and China, as well as for flights within Thailand. Passengers will only have to pay airport taxes and administration fee. Also AirAsia last month abolished fuel surcharges on all its flights.
The airline is collaborating with Tourism Authority of Thailand for this campaign, which is aimed to bring back tourists and businessmen by ‘reinstating the core message that it is now safe to travel back to the Land of Smiles. |
