Now come to our last strategy: Target selection strategy.
Thailand has no problem in attracting tourists. But the thing is
that those tourists, when they come to Thailand, they are not
spending money. They come to Thailand because they believe Thailand
is a cheap place to travel. So the question is “are we attracting
the RIGHT group of tourist?”

Thailand

Implementation tactic:

Rational:
Current marketing strategy is placing too much emphasis on
traditional image of Thailand which is not a true picture of the
present situation and might create a wrong image
Thailand is becoming a modern society with the more international
lifestyle. Our proposed marketing position is aiming to avoid
creating wrong expectation which could lead to
dissatisfaction.

TAT is a government organization, not a business
organization.
TAT doesn’t make money by itself, it is GIVEN money by the central
government.
It’s main goal is NOT to maximize its profit. It is created in
order to support the tourism industry in Thailand
Therefore, It is not practical to use the organization revenues and
net income to measure the result of our strategies.
So, we used the incoming tourists and the total foreign currency
income to Thailand.
This logic also applied to our return on investment, since the cash
inflows into the organization is almost irrelevant to our
strategies. So we decided to use the estimated results of the
strategies (Total international receipts, tourists expenditures)
instead of the conventional financial measurements (NPV, IRR,
etc.)

TAT is created to promote and publicized Thailand. Most of the work
done aside of marketing activities are done indirectly through
private sectors and local governments (subsidizing and
negotiating).
The renovations and improvement of standard will be done largely
through local governments and private sectors, therefore it will
not be a cost burden to TAT organization itself.
Since the tourist assets are NOT owned by TAT itself, the
improvement and renovations cannot be count as our capital
investment.
Through those logics, we have concluded that all the costs
regarding to our recommendations are expenses that will appear on
the organization’s income statement, and there is no capital
expenditure at all.

2005, TAT estimates that the number of foreign tourist will
diminished by 15% due to the Tsunami.
However, through our strategies, we’ll be able to recover the
previous number within 3 years.
After that, the tourists number should grow normally as forecast by
TAT, since our strategies do not emphasized on increasing the
number of tourists.

In 2005, our happiness on earth strategy is just in the initial
stage. Also, most of our effort will be on the recovery of Tsunami
strategy.
From 2007 onward, the expenditure per person should increase at a
rapid rate.

Financing Method
Finance Back-Up
Since we are a government organization, 97% of revenue are from the
budget allocation of the central government.
Currently, the allocation rate is 0.7% of the total international
receipt from tourism industry.
However, in the year 2005, both the number of tourists and the
total international receipt will take a heavy hit from Tsunami.
Thus, in 2005, the government budget allocate to us will not be
enough to finance our strategy to recover tourism industry.
Therefore, it is absolutely vital for us to negotiate with the
central government to increase the allocation % from 0.7% to
1.1%
After 2005, we can decrease the percentage a little year by year
due to the increase in total international receipt, and it can be
decrease to normal rate of 0.7% in 4 years.

TAT has estimated that the tsunami will cause a 47.66% decline in
number of tourism to the southern provinces in 2005.
Through our Reshine of Andaman Campaign, we would be able to
recover the number of tourist by 2008
The total expenditure will recover 1 year sooner due to the
increase in expenditure per tourist resulting from our
strategy.
