Bangkok Airways flight to London via
Guwahati
By A Staff
Reporter
GUWAHATI, March 3 � The Bangkok Airways is planning to
introduce a flight to London via Guwahati and include the North Eastern region
in the package formulated for the tourists of the European countries. This was
disclosed by Dr Prasert Prasarttong Osoth, president and CEO of Bangkok
Airways and the head of the Thailand delegation visiting the region to study
the feasibilities of tourism and trade potential in the
region.
Addressing a press conference here this evening, the head of
the Thai delegation revealed that a good number of tourists from the European
countries visit Thailand and the North East region can easily be included in
the package for tourists because the air travel time between Guwahati and
Bangkok is only about one and half hours. He also suggested that the visa
formalities for the Thai tourists visiting the North East should be relaxed
and a system of giving visas on arrival should be introduced to attract
tourists. The Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, who was also present in the Press
conference, assured that he would take up the matter with the Government of
India.
The Thai delegation, which visited several places of tourist
attraction in the state including the Kaziranga National Park, said that they
were stunned by the beauty of Assam and admitted that the State has tremendous
tourism potential. They said that the Guwahati-Bangkok flight would improve
relations between the people of Thailand and North East region of India apart
from giving a boost to tourism.
The Chief Minister presented every
member of the delegation with a copy of the History of Assam by Edward Gait
and said that the visit of the delegation would give a boost to tourism, trade
and commerce.
