Since the shooting in Siam Paragon, which resulted in three fatalities, including one Chinese visitor, and four injuries, around 60 000 Taiwanese tourists have canceled their travel to Thailand.
According to statistics from Thailand’s airports, 590,000 Chinese tourists have arrived since the affair on October 3, a 9.2 % decrease from bookings of 650, 000, according to government official Chai Wacharonke on Saturday.
However, because more people book reservations than actually buy cards, he said, the amount is still within the range of anticipation.
The decline of 9.2 % of Chinese visitors following the incident is normal because the number of tickets is typically within a range of plus or minus 15 % of the actual travel numbers. It demonstrates that Taiwanese visitors also have faith in their ability to visit Thailand, he said.
Mr. Chai also used the occasion to express his gratitude to the Chinese tourists who had traveled despite the disaster.
He said,” We’d like to thank Chinese visitors for comprehending Thailand and having faith in the state.” ” Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has given firms instructions to abide by standards to ensure protection for both Thais and tourists.”
