WHY THAILAND? WHY KOH SAMUI? Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Known as the ‘Land of Smiles’, it has been attracting visitors from all corners of the globe for decades, for its beguiling sights, sounds and flavours that stay with the soul for a lifetime. Koh Samui is known as the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of all the Thai islands, renowned for its palm fringed beaches glistening with golden sands, caressed by the inviting azure waters of the Gulf of Thailand but, if you look a little closer, you’ll find that the island is in fact, quite cosmopolitan and has something for everyone. Unique amongst all of Thailand’s islands, for retaining its old world charm but embracing modern infrastructure and luxury facilities, Koh Samui magically grants each and every visitor a unique and memorable experience with its distinct character.
Samui Investment Report 2014
Surat Thani Airport Emerging as Second ‘Plan B’ Island Getaway; Triple digit growth of Chinese and Russian Travellers. “In 2013, Samui saw a record high 1.7 million travellers visit the island. Foreign visitors account for 88% of the total market, with almost half coming from Western Europe.” A key stimulator of demand has been the rising prominence of Surat Thani airport as a second gateway to Samui. Passenger arrivals substantially grew at 38% and 32% in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Low-cost airlines and non-scheduled (charter) flights are lead indicators pushing up airlift. Whilst Samui’s airport capacity hit 86% in 2013, the second mainland gateway has the ability to drive numbers up. Samui has more 5-star resorts and hotels than any other location in Thailand.
