Bangkok: Central Pattana Public Company Limited announced the successful first anniversary of 'Central Park' shopping mall, which has attracted over 25 million visitors, more than 10 million of whom were tourists from around the world. With shops fully occupied, the company aims for continued visitor growth of over 10% and continues its journey towards becoming 'Bangkok's World Stage,' connecting Bangkok to the global stage.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Khunayut Dechudom, Assistant Managing Director of Assets at CentralWorld and Central Park, Central Pattana Public Company Limited, stated that over the past year, Central Park has successfully become an integral part of people's lives and a new context of Bangkok that has become known to the world. Going forward, they view Central Park as 'Bangkok's World Stage,' a space that embraces new things from around the globe and opens opportunities for the world to see the charm, creativity, and potential of Bangkok through its people, brands, art, culture, and new experiences. They aim for a 10% increase in traffic next year.
Central Park's success in its first year was attributed to three key elements:
1. Curated Newness: The selection of over 250 brands, both Thai and international, featuring First-in-Thailand, Exclusive Concepts, and New Formats, offering something new and unique that sets it apart from other places.
2. A People-led Cultural Stage: A space for people's experiences, creating content and experiences throughout the year, encompassing food, art, music, design, events, and culture.
3. Design for Bangkok: World-class design based on the concept of "Design for the Future with Respect for Legacy," incorporating the character of Silom-Rama IV, Lumpini Park, and the neighborhood's culture into the design. Collaboration with global designers in architecture, interior design, and landscape planning results in world-class design for Bangkok, seamlessly integrating park life and urban life into daily life.
Central Park Shopping Center is moving forward as a Global Destination, connecting Bangkok to the world stage through three key strategies: Global Firsts, bringing new innovations from global brands; Global Culture, providing a space for art, music, design, and culture from around the world; and Global Audience, expanding the base of international tourists.
