Thai retailer apology for controversial Chinese New Year ad
BANGKOK, February 1, 2014 (AFP) - A Thai retail giant on Friday apologised for a billboard advertisement showing a white woman pulling at the side of one eye, saying it had not realised the gesture could be "offensive" to Chinese people.
Central Pattana, which owns a string of large malls and department stores in Bangkok and other major cities, said it had removed the Chinese New Year advert as soon as it became aware of concerns over the image.
A picture of the billboard, which had a headline "Good to be Chinese", circulated on the social networking site Twitter on Friday, in the latest instance of apparently inadvertent cultural insensitivity in a Thai advert.
"We are extremely sorry for the lack of judgement in this issue as we did not realise that the gesture of the model in the advertisement would be offensive to the Chinese communities," said assistant vice president Sakorn Thavisin in a statement.
The image generated mixed reactions online, with mainly foreign commentators expressing disapproval.
"This ad is sure to create negative publicity for Central. Lots of people who shop in Central are foreigners. Not a good idea!" said @BKKEarlsy on Twitter.
Central Pattana is Thailand's largest retail developer, according to its website, and manages 23 shopping centres, 7 office buildings, two hotels and two residential projects.
Thai firms have stumbled into controversy over racism in the past.
In October a Thai subsidiary of consumer goods giant Unilever apologised for a competition to promote its skin whitening product to students after the company was criticised for appearing to link education with whiter skin -- which is already widely associated with higher economic status in Thailand.
British and Dutch based Unilever, which has more than 400 brands sold in over 190 countries, said it did not intend "racial discrimination".
In September, US firm Dunkin' Donuts said it was pulling an advertisement in Thailand featuring a woman with black face make-up after a human rights group described it as racist.
The "charcoal donut" ad caused little controversy in Thailand, however, while on social media sites there were differing views about whether the ad was offensive.

The only constant in this world is change
If you are earning 300K renminbi per annum
Sinkieland is not a place you'll consider
Unless you're into flipping properties
Well heeled mainlanders are not STEWpig
If China is a big prison under the Commies
Why would they emigrate to smaller one
Desperate Sinkie Gahbrament have to scrape bottom of barrel
To get people to come to Sinkieland and be screwed by Lightning
Chinese entrepreneur cashes in on nouveau riche's wanderlust with one-off itineries
Entrepreneur believes he's on a winner with his tailor-made trips that offer the world on a plate
Chinese tourists spent US$102 billion overseas last year, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation. The mainland is the world's fastest-growing tourist market. One man hoping to cash in is Cai Mingdong from Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Cai, 36, used to be a financial journalist but now has a company that runs tailor-made trips for mainland tourists.
Tell us about your career before getting into tourism?
In the 1990s and early 2000s, every Chinese graduate thought studying at a famous overseas university was a great chance to see the world. After I graduated from Cardiff University's school of journalism in 2003 I came back to Ningbo and became a financial and property reporter. I interviewed many wealthy entrepreneurs and it was interesting to hear how they spent their money in their spare time. I built up my own import and export business in 2010 and got into the tourist sector in 2012 as I thought it would really develop.
Why and how did you start your business organising tailor-made trips overseas?
I travelled a lot across Europe and North Africa when studying in the UK between 2002 and 2003. I was struck that there were so few Chinese tourists there. I was always mistaken for somebody Japanese. In 2005, while I was making trips across Asian countries, I started to come across young Chinese backpackers.
In 2010, when I was on a driving trip in New Zealand, I saw many Chinese tour groups. While I was having a break at a tourist attraction in New Zealand I was surrounded by dozens of tourists. They were really interested in my car trip, thinking it was much more interesting and adventurous than the organised trip they were on. Some even wanted to quit the tour group and join me. I suddenly thought I had found a way to sail into a "blue oceans'' market. People in China are getting rich and an overseas trip is an easy way for them to enjoy their wealth and happiness, but they are usually limited to a few boring tour routes. Also, the value of the renminbi was continuous rising and inflation was soaring. Increasingly, Chinese people in the cities think spending money on a trip and shopping overseas is a good deal. I knew it was the perfect time to start my business.
What is the current state of the foreign travel market on the mainland? Do you see much room for growth?
The statistics show the tourism industry is booming. The authorities estimate an unprecedented 100 million outbound trips will be undertaken this year. And rich people in China are becoming the world's main force in luxury goods consumption. We offered seven tailor-made trips last year, attracting over 100 people, mostly from cities across the Yangtze delta, who spent a total of more than three million yuan (HK$3.8 million) on their holidays. In the first month of this year we already have enough clients for nine trips to Europe, South America, North America and Australasia. I think tourism will remain strong as long as the renminbi is stable or rising.
Who on the mainland is making these trips overseas?
Of course, the customers are rich. Most of my clients have an average yearly income of 300,000 yuan. The key driver for these people in making these trips is they want to have a better quality of life. Also, a tailor-made trip is a symbol showing their wealth and social status. Geographically, all middle-class urban people in Beijing and the Yangtze and Pearl River deltas are our customers.
What kind of trips do you design and provide?
In the past, tourists from China had to be in a tour group when they went overseas and they were usually taken to free tourist attractions and shopping malls. Now many countries have relaxed the visa rules. That makes it possible to plan tailor-made trips to see different places and meet local people.
Every trip I offer is well designed and planned under a special theme, such as a summer camp to play at the Kobe Bryant basketball academy in the United States, a camping and driving trip in New Zealand, a tour to see art and history museums in Europe or a tour to investigate America's property market.
We take care of everything - applying for a visarenting vehicles, contacting local property agents and universities. After landing at an airport, instead of being sent to attractions only for tourists, my clients can immediately enjoy driving downtown, shopping at a local market, cooking in their own apartment, jogging at a local park, or camping in a forest. All clients are satisfied with our trips. They all say they want to travel in a developed country and to live as richly and colourfully as a local.
What difficulties do you face?
It's the extreme shortage of qualified professional people to guide tourists to see the real world, rather than sending them to hotels and malls in a coach. People here are getting richer and are eager to see the outside world.
The only problem is they need someone to show them where is interesting and where best to spend their money. But it's hard to find a guide or a planner who understands both China and societies overseas, as well as having the skills and the sense needed to take care of any emergencies.
