This time, the country will welcome 25 million visitors.
According to the state, there were over 12 million new arrivals late last month and will likely reach 25 million by the end of the year.
According to deputy government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul, from the beginning of the year to June 25, there were 12.46 million tourist arrivals, an increase of 539 % over the same period last year.
Malaysia received 1.9 million visitors to the kingdom this year, followed by China( 1.3 million ), Russia ( 784, 488 ), South Korea ( 741, 909 ), and India ( 732, 523 ).
The significant increase in traveler traffic is consistent with the Airports of Thailand’s report of a sharp increase in airport apply beginning in October of last year.
Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Ching Rai, Phuket, and Hat Yai have been the six busiest flights. During the October to May time, they welcomed a total of 34.3 million, an increase of 635 % year over year.
202, 700 domestic and international flights were handled by the flights, which is 175 % more than during the same time last month.
According to her, citing the Fiscal Policy Office, continuously growing tourist arrivals are providing an important motivator for economic development.
As flights add more planes to their autumn schedules, the business anticipates that foreign tourist arrivals may exceed 2 million per month in the final quarter of this year.
According to Ms. Traisuree,” Hospitality is a major driver of the economy’s growth for the remainder of that year.” The resurgence of hospitality helps to balance out the erratic export market.
Prayut Chan-o-cha, the prime minister, has instructed state companies to reduce barriers that are impeding commerce, such as travel restrictions.
According to her, the elite is paying particular attention to requests from tourism operators to simplify and expedite the issuance of tourist visas.
Gen Prayut was aware that initiatives like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( MOF ), the Tourism and Sports Ministry, the Thailand Tourism Authority ( TAT ), and the Royal Thai Police were working together more closely to make improvements.
In order to generate 1.5 trillion ringgit in revenue, the government has set a goal of welcoming 25 million visitors to the country this season.
As Chinese visitors are anticipated to increase to five million this season, the TAT has expressed confidence that the goal will get met.
The Visa Pre-screening System( VPSS ) will be introduced later this month by the TAT and the MOF in an effort to expedite visa applications for foreign visitors.
The holiday income has been moved from June 1 to January of next year, according to tourism and sports secretary Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn.
The new government will take into account the income, which will be 300 ringgit each for visitors arriving by surroundings and 150 ringgit for those arriving on land or by boat.
