Oct. 4--VIENNA -- Promotional roadshows in Eastern Europe are the latest in a series of efforts to stimulate travel to southern Thailand and lift hotel occupancy rates to 80 percent by early next year.

The Phuket Tourist Association and the Tourism Authority of Thailand are optimistic that Vienna can serve as a gateway for travellers from Eastern Europe once Austrian Airlines begins direct flights to Phuket from Vienna on Nov 4.

Pattanapong Aikwanich, president of the Phuket Tourist Association, headed a recent roadshow to Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic, with 16 hotel, spa and tour agency representatives.
