SAmuI ON THE up!<br />

The tide has turned positively for tourism in Koh <strong>Samui</strong><br />

as the Thailand resort destination racked up an all-time<br />

high island-wide occupancy of 68% for the full year<br />

2012. As to what exactly is driving the trend? New<br />

direct international routes and aircraft upgrades saw<br />

year-on-year growth in occupied hotel room nights rise<br />

by 9%, according to a new market update released by<br />

consulting firm C9 Hotelworks.<br />

C9's Managing Director Bill Barnett said: "Hot on<br />

the heels of a rising Asian middle class and the<br />

resurgence of a prolific group travel segment is the<br />

trend of Thailand's resort markets becoming urbanized<br />

playgrounds. It's not just about the beach anymore as<br />

shopping and attractions are gaining momentum as<br />

strong demand catalysts."<br />

A key catalyst of change in trading conditions has<br />

been Bangkok Airways' ongoing upgrade of its fleet<br />

which has had a domino effect in providing more<br />

than 189,000 additional airline seats for Koh <strong>Samui</strong><br />

travellers.<br />

One leading economic indicator which C9's Managing<br />

Director Bill Barnett singles out as "transformational"<br />

is the 48,000 square meter land parcel which<br />

is being developed by the Thai-listed Central<br />

Group for a massive retail shopping complex in the<br />

tourism area of Chaweng. For more information visit<br />
