Joining hands with TAT to attract tourists to Thailand and creating national and global impact


· “Global Impact – We are dedicated to positioning Thailand as a world-class destination by hosting ‘Mega Magnet Events’ throughout the year to attract both Thai and international tourists, especially at our 15 tourist malls. These malls target key groups, including Chinese tourists, FIT travelers, and visitors from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Russia, the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. Additionally, we are partnering with travel platforms like KLOOK to extend the tourist hub from centralwOrld to Central Pattaya and Central Chiangmai. Central Pattana aims to support the TAT’s goal of 36.7 million international visitors by the end of 2024. Our CentralWorld, Central Phuket, Pattaya, and Chiangmai shopping centers have received ‘Traveler’s Choice Awards’ from TripAdvisor, reinforcing our commitment to quality and boosting awareness of Thailand among global tourists.

· “National Impact We promote Thailand’s soft power by showcasing Christmas trees that reflect local essence at our eleven shopping centers nationwide, along with craft markets at our five branches in major and secondary cities. By leveraging events and activities, we align with TAT’s policy to stimulate the domestic economy and tourism. Our goal is to meet the needs of all segments, including quality spenders, families, and Gen Z. We anticipate a 25-30% increase in customer traffic at our shopping centers nationwide,” Dr. Nattakit stated.


H.E. Ms. Kristiina Kuvaja-Xanthopoulos, Finland’s Ambassador to Thailand,

Christmas celebrations in Finland focus around family, food and relaxation and the celebrations officially begin with the ‘Declaration of Christmas Peace’ in Turku, a very important tradition for the people of Finland. The arrival of the Santa Claus Village in Thailand is a wonderful opportunity for Christmas lovers to enjoy the festive experience once in a lifetime without having to travel all the way to Finland.”

Each of the 11 Local Pride Christmas trees showcases regional craftsmanship, while CentralWorld's Tourism Station invites visitors to send special cards representing five interesting cities. Using the strengths of the Soft Power selling point in the F-Festival dimension, this initiative aims to promote tourism during the year-end period, targeting 36.7 million tourists to Thailand in 2024 and generating an estimated 3.5 trillion baht in revenue.
