"In Phuket, I would like to promote our agricultural community, because the locals still work in this field. If we can improve agricultural tourism, I think we can keep our tourists here for a long time. "In 2015, we will introduce and promote the unique selling points in each community by providing information booklets and hosting more events. "Baan Bang Rong's draw-card is its popular local fisheries and farmers; Phuket Town for its local culture and heritage city; Yao Island for its Muslim community and Koh Sireh for the unique sea gypsy culture. Luckily for Phuket, we have lots of different selling points. Our multicultural mixes of both Thai and Chinese food would leave any food fanatic spoilt for choice. For example, Loba (pork with spicy ingredients), O-Eaw (white jelly), and fresh homemade local desserts are popular in Kathu. "Food festivals could be improved by presenting an array of foods representative of different areas in Phuket, which would be great for tourists. "TAT is not responsible for the complaints received from tourists. Our job is to promote tourism only. I have received a lot of complaints from tourists, but we have to pass them on to the Ministry of Tourism and Sport office in Phuket. Nevertheless, the letters educate us on anything negative that we could possibly improve on." For any tourist information or events that you would like to see in Phuket, please contact us directly at our office near Queen's park in Phuket Town.
