Phuket Still Going Strong
Foreign investors find Phuket a lucrative spot in which to do business due to its international appeal as a beach destination, its eye-catching natural beauty and year-round tropical climate, says Allan Zeman, owner of the five-star Andara Resort & Villas which opened on the island earlier this year.
Zeman, a property developer with over four decades of experience, noted that Phuket, unlike Bangkok, hasn’t experienced any major political instability which would discourage tourists.
He told the Bangkok Post yesterday that, “Apart from the aforementioned reasons, I decided to invest in a resort and mall business in Phuket because I’ve been a regular visitor for the past 30 years.
“Phuket is like a second home to me and I find the local people friendly and charming. The island has much to offer in terms of culture, history and food. It’ll remain a hotbed for sustainable tourism growth for years to come.”
