          “The company also set the 5-year developing and business strategy plan with the vision to be “Asia’s leading provider for extraordinary residency program crafted for friends of Thailand.” The plan includes the developments of products, services and privileged benefits for the members. We have also adapted our sale and marketing strategy to sit well with the market’s demand and increase its efficiency. The services and outstanding benefits such as the facilitation of visa, government liaison, the Elite Personal Assistant at the airports and limousine service, are what we have never ceased to improve as they are the key factor of our business operation.
          I expect the company to have a part in elevating Thai tourism for the affluent tourists in a sustainable way. And I hope our membership program has a chance to serve Thailand as the way to express our gratitude to those who have been helpful to our country such as the foreign volunteers on the Tham Luang cave rescue; we gladly gifted them the special edition of Thailand Elite Card called “Elite Friend of Thailand”. Apart from more income and investment Thailand will gain from our long term stay members, the satisfaction and impression from our heartfelt hospitality and services also enhance the good image for Thailand.” stated Ms. Ratchadawan.
