A
floral float in the “most beautiful” category makes it way through the city
in the Festival of Flowers parade last week in Chiang Mai. Fewer numbers than
usual turned up for the event, but the ones that did were treated to music,
dance, performances, and of course, lots of flowers.

Ministry of Industry looking for closer ties in the 17 northern provinces BoI behind the plan
This cooperation was very important, as it could help stimulate the North to create up to 50,000 new entrepreneurs, said the minister at the press conference held at the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel in Chiang Mai. |

Travel industry remains resolute Buyers, sellers and ASEAN tourism authorities are calm and confident in the face of yet another potential dampener for regional tourism - the avian flu. Several admitted cancellations and a slowdown in forward bookings. But overall, the mood was one of resignation that crises were part of the tourism business and that recently-suffered ones, such as SARS, had put ASEAN on a stronger footing to handle other potential killers. Swiss operator TourAsia’s product manager, Marcel Boeni, visited Luang Prabang before arriving in Vientiane and regretted to note that hoteliers there had already informed him they were receiving some group cancellations. But he said, “We remain committed to Asia, and TourAsia will extend its brochure for the region, primarily ASEAN countries, to 30 pages.” |
Minister of Industry Pinit Charusombat chaired a meeting
to discuss how to bring good cooperation for the development strategy of 17
Northern provinces particularly for investment project promotion.
