How about a free BG with every room booked by a single male tourist.
Now that would be a great all-inclusive plan.
I am surprised that Thai Airways and some of the other airlines that go from the US to Bangkok and Phuket have not had any specials. A lot of national airlines are subsidised by their governments but maybe they just had too big a hit with the tsunami to be able to subsidise any flight costs to promote tourism.
Cathay Pacific is running a special for Manila but nothing for Thailand so far.
When Fiji had a coup a few years ago, Air Pacific was running a special $599 + Tax fare that was about to end. After the coup was over, they did not extend the fare and the next year when they needed to entice people to go there, they did not have a low fare sale and even raised their retail and wholesale prices for that year. Go figure.
Also, the fuel surcharges that the airlines are hitting consumers with are not helping. Continental added $50 to flights for Micronesia and Manila and all airlines to Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia have added at least $50 per person in taxes.
