Suriya Jungrungreangkit, the minister of transportation, has mandated that Thailand’s airports ( AoT ) prepare for a rise in tourists during the Chinese New Year holiday.
During the 10-day vacation time from January 24 to February 2, according to Mr. Suriya, about 4 million international visitors were anticipated. On January 29, the Chinese New Year will be observed.
Of the people flying into Thailand, 770, 000 were expected to be from China, which would be an increase of 22.6 % compared to the same period last year.
The Lunar New Year will be a significant test for Thailand’s ability to convince Chinese tourists about security. A Myanmar-based fraud gang’s new abduction of a Chinese actor in Thailand reportedly resulted in numerous tour refunds.
Mr. Suriya stated that he had contacted all organizations to request assistance with traveling in all ways, particularly safety and proper services using modern technology.
He has requested that AoT integrate with other organizations to increase the number of people needed to offer services at all locations for both inbound and outbound people.
AoT leader Kirati Kijmanawat said the firm was prepared to handle the increase in flight and customer figures at its six global airports: Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai, Phuket and Hat Yai.
He said 24, 599 planes, or 2, 460 a moment on average, were expected during the time at the six flights. international flights between Jan 24 and Feb 2 are expected to complete 4.03 million, or 403, 182 citizens a day on average.
