PHUKET, 19 May 2023: Phuket Hotels Association, the nonprofit organisation of hoteliers focused on promoting a positive image of Phuket, is inviting members of the public to take part in its “Absolutely Fabulous Online Travel Sale” – an online auction with great prizes that will fund scholarships for talented young people in Phuket.
This forms part of the Phuket Hotels Association Benefit (PHAB) 2023 campaign, an important fundraising initiative including “PHAB 5”, a charity gala dinner at Angsana Laguna Phuket on 20 May 2023.
Bidding in the online auction is open until midday (Thailand time, UTC+7 hrs) on 15 June, with prizes in dream destinations worldwide! Participants can bid for spectacular five-star stays and exciting experiences generously donated by sponsors in destinations such as Dubai, Sydney and the Maldives, as well as Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Koh Samui – all potentially available with big discounts for the highest bidder. In addition to hotel stays, the auction includes various exhilarating activities such as yacht charters, golf, tennis, surfing classes and gym memberships.
Proceeds from the auction will sponsor at least 20 hospitality scholarships and internships exclusively for the benefit of young Phuket residents who would otherwise be unable to fund their education. The association has successfully sponsored over 30 students studying hospitality and tourism in Phuket.
The PHAB 5 online auction is being continually updated with new prizes. Bidders can check back on their progress, make new offers and see what other exciting prizes are coming up!
