We were chasing both Bangkok and upcountry sales.
We are currently discuss with Distributor about last order in upcoming Monday.
Month end Forecast is 2.07 MB.
MTD sales is 1.446 MB. We have committment sales from Phuket Distributors for the last order in coming Monday 0.22 MB. Bangkok and others direct customer last order is 0.15 MB.
Total is 1.81 MB. ( OG 11% when compared with June 2013 )
The main reason are
1. After Coup D’état on 22nd May 14. The confidence of tourists who come to Thailand decreased. Booking in Samui and Phuket averaged 20%
2. After Coup. The military imposed an Martial Law. Curfew start from 22.00 till 6.00 are direct affect with restaurant and Hotel business. The curfew was executed from 22nd May – 16th June.
3. Although the Curfew was canceled after the 16th but signs of tourists to travel come to Thai is still low.
4. Base on the figure of Ministry of Tourist Jan – Apr The tourist number was drop 5% percent but after Coup, Military Government didn’t announce the official number of drop but journalist foresee that May – Aug tourist number will drop approximately 25-30%.
We try very hard to approach to new amusement park where will open on September 2014. If we success for that I believed that they will become a new Phuket Fantasea for us and will compensate loss sales during hard time of politic unstable situation.
Best Regards,
Pong.
