Thailand has held a meeting focusing on national security and tourism in light of the temporary implementation of a visa-free policy for Chinese visitors.

Thailand’s Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit said on September 7 that his ministry plans to acquire some flight slots from the air force to serve growing demand from airlines to boost tourism.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is still positive on the growth of domestic tourism in the country to reach 200 million trips this year despite tepid consumption.

Thailand's “non-smoke” industry is expected to generate up to 3 trillion THB in revenue in 2024, equivalent to the level of 2019, before the COVID-19 crisis, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has revealed a plan to boost its revenue from foreign tourists and the “Thais Travelling in Thailand” campaign.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has unveiled its direction for fiscal 2024 with a budget of 5 billion THB (144.2 million USD), which intends to grow off-peak customers, increase spending per trip by 7%, and distribute income to a greater variety of destinations.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has predicted that the country’s tourism industry can earn 3 trillion THB (86.75 billion USD) in revenue in 2024, equivalent to the level of 2019.

The new government of Thailand is expected to decide the fate of the 300 THB (8.69 USD) tourism fee, which remains uncertain because of roadblocks from unclear implementation.

To realise its climate commitments, Thailand is beginning to shift to a Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economic model that balances promoting economic growth and protecting the natural environment.

The number of Chinese visitors to Thailand might not reach the target of 5 million this year, as arrivals in the first four months were lower than expected.

Thailand will not delay the tourism fee collection beyond September, and its Tourism and Sports Ministry also plans to ask provincial police to support the tourism police in its operations to clear out "zero-dollar" and illegal tours, an official has confirmed.

Vietnam's unique culture can be the strength for the country to attract foreign tourists, said Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya, Deputy Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Thailand is updating its plans to attract more tourists to the country, according to Thai experts.

Thailand beat its target for tourist arrivals of 6 million arrivals in the first quarter, reaching 6.15 million in the January to March 27 period, government spokesperson Traisuree Taisaranakul said on March 29.

Thai Government spokesperson Traisuree Taisaranakul on March 22 said that the country recorded 5.57 million foreign tourist arrivals from the beginning of this year to March 18.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced the commencement of the submission process for the 14th Thailand Tourism Awards, a distinguished recognition for the travel industry’s brightest and best in Thailand.

Localities with popular tourist attractions in Thailand have taken measures to crack down on criminals to better ensure the safety of visitors and residents.

The recovery of tourism, an important sector of Thailand, is expected to help this country’s economy grow 3.8% in 2023, an official has said.

Thailand's economy could grow as much as 4% this year, the fastest rate in five years, thanks to the recovery of the tourism sector and domestic consumption, Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow said on February 1.

Thailand's tourism industry expects foreign arrivals to exceed 30 million in 2023, higher than government estimates of 25-27.5 million.
