Astonishingly, the jetski model is set to create a value of 1 billion baht for the World Cup tournament in Pattaya by 2027, attracting significant financial flows into Thailand.
The jetski model leverages sports development to create advanced national economic benefits. WGP#1 revealed its approach, working on intellectual property (IP) for seven years to become the 'owner of the global game,' enabling comprehensive benefits for Thai sports. Recently, the WGP#1 Jetski World President expressed confidence in generating an economic value of 1 billion baht for the World Cup tournament in Pattaya by 2027, following the successful launch of the first World Championship in Eastern Europe, Bulgaria. This achievement emphasizes that nothing comes free; Thai sports must truly excel on the global stage and develop IP to build genuine strength.
Mr. Prikhet Suebsahakarn, WGP#1 Jetski World President, revealed that the jetski World Championship's season opener, held in Bulgaria, Eastern Europe, was a marketing success. WGP#1 delivered one of the best games and content in jetski history. The sports minister and city mayor warmly welcomed the event as hosts. This new sports innovation means Thailand is not just sending athletes to compete but is the global game owner, significantly elevating the credibility of Thai sports.
Aiming to own the global game or Thai-Global Sport IP will comprehensively advance Thai sports by improving domestic tournament quality, athlete skill development, and building a world-class reputation for athletes at both amateur and professional levels. Thailand's new role as a global sports manager will drive growth in the sports export industry, promote Thailand through media, and, importantly, generate an economic value of 1 billion baht for the World Cup tournament in Pattaya by 2027.
The strategy and depth of Thailand's jetski development require building trust and reputation internationally, as athletes from developed sports nations traditionally trust European and U.S. standards but not Thailand, especially since Thailand has never fought for sports IP before. With WGP#1's success and world-class content creation, this potential attracts athletes eager to compete for championships in Thailand and draws fans, truly raising the quality of Thailand's sports tournaments.
The import of global athletes alone involves over 3,000 international racers and staff, each spending an average of more than 175,000 baht out-of-pocket, bringing substantial foreign currency into the country. Along with jetski fans and supporters worldwide, this demonstrates how the jetski model transforms a small sport into a massive national benefit. Thai sports must excel globally to develop strong sports industries.
