Half a million people are expected to attend this year’s Phuket Vegetarian Festival, bringing in around 33 million baht (US$1 million), a senior tourism official said. Wanaphapar Suksombul, Assistant Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Phuket Office, said 80% of Phuket City’s hotel rooms have been booked up during the event, which officially started at midnight on Saturday. Ms Wanaphapar said a large number of Chinese tourists were expected to attend. Two charter flights carrying 500 tourists from China had already arrived on the island, and 10 more flights from Beijing, Kunming and Shanghai were expected to land in the next few days, reports the Phuket Gazette.
