Thai tourism nears pre-Covid levels with increased Chinese visitor visas

Credited from: SCMP

  • Visitor numbers to Thailand rose by 26 percent last year, reaching approximately 35.5 million tourists despite not meeting the ministry's target.
  • Chinese travelers led the influx, totaling around 6.7 million visitors, significantly contributing to the tourism industry's recovery.
  • The relaxation of entry rules and waived visas for Chinese tourists helped boost Thailand's tourism revenue to 1.67 trillion baht (US$48 billion), marking a 34 percent increase.
  • The Thai government anticipates reaching a new record of 40 million arrivals this year, thanks in part to further visa relaxations and upcoming entertainment attractions.
  • While spending per tourist has decreased, the overall expectation is that tourism will recover to pre-pandemic levels by 2025, bolstering the economy significantly.
