Minimum prices for tour packages setTaweesak: Ironing out the detailsThe minimum prices for tour packages to deal with growing price wars and substandard travel operators are slated to be applied next year, says the Tourism Department. For inbound tour packages, minimum prices will vary based on the market and the operating costs of travel agencies. Minimum prices for a one-day domestic tour package are set at 300 baht/person and 600 baht/night for overnight trips. Ms Tassanee said tourists should consider higher-quality tour packages rather than cheap tour packages, enabling operators to add value to services. Standardising the prices for tour packages is the first step in dealing with the zero-dollar tours that have damaged Thai tourism, Mr Vichit said.
