The Phuket King’s Cup Regatta is preparing to set sail again, swelling Phuket visitor numbers and making a contribution to Thailand’s overall tourism performance.<\/div>\n

\"kings<\/a>Sponsored by Kata Group Resorts Thailand, the Phuket King\u2019s Cup Regatta 2015 will be held at Kata Beach Resort and Spa from December 5 to December 12 and will host international racing classes with about 150 boats and 1,500 sailors competing for one of sailing\u2019s most prestigious trophies.<\/p>\n

Kata Beach Resort and Spa will also host the opening ceremony on December 6, as well as the Closing Royal Award Ceremony on the event’s final day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to support the Phuket King\u2019s Cup Regatta for the last 17 years, as it is one of the most internationally significant regattas in the world of yachting. This event is a great opportunity to support Phuket\u2019s policy to make this province a \u2018World Sports Paradise\u2019 through which it attempts to attract notable sporting events, such as golf, tennis and beach volleyball,\u201d said Pramookpisitt Achariyachai, president of Kata Group Resorts Thailand.<\/p>\n

Comprising five days of racing on challenging, scenic courses held among the Andaman Sea islands, the Phuket King\u2019s Cup Regatta brings some of the world\u2019s fastest, independent racing teams to its famed beach-side parties.<\/p>\n

The regatta offers sponsorship and media engagement opportunities, as well as networking opportunities hosted at party venues each night following the day\u2019s races. It also supports tourism in Phuket, and Thailand as a whole, with an expected economic contribution of around 300 million baht.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that Kata Group has decided to continue its sponsorship into its 17 consecutive year. We\u2019re pleased that Kata Group is so readily able to realize the benefits of association brought about through sponsorship of Asia\u2019s classic yacht race,\u201d said Kevin Whitcraft, president of Phuket King\u2019s Cup Regatta Organizing Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
