Tourism operators in Pattaya are planning to offer free hotel rooms from May 1, 2009 to October 31, 2009 in order to attract local and international tourists during the low season. Apart from hotels, restaurants and shopping malls will also join the campaign, offering discounts up to 50 per cent.

However, the final details are expected to be decided upon today. According to a report in www.bangkokpost.com by Chadamas Chinmaneevong; Chatchawal Supachayanont, President, Eastern Chapter, Thai Hotels Association (THA) said, “The city is facing difficult times because of the global economic recession and local political problems. With this campaign, we hope tourists and Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exhibition (MICE) activities will be lured back to Pattaya and tourism sentiment will improve as well.”

Chatchawal informed that Pattaya's hotels had about 20,000 rooms and that all operators will join the promotion.
