Thailand’s tourism sector is experiencing a noticeable recovery with foreign arrivals from January 1 through February 23 reflecting a 10.3% increase compared to the same period last year, according to the Tourism Ministry.
The country welcomed approximately 6.35 million international visitors during this timeframe, highlighted by a significant contingent from China, totaling 988,451 visitors.
Looking ahead, the National Economic and Social Development Council has forecast a robust comeback for the sector, anticipating that Thailand will attract up to 38 million foreign tourists by 2025.
This projected number is approaching the pre-pandemic visitor record of nearly 40 million seen in 2019. Such optimism underscores Thailand’s strategic efforts to rejuvenate its tourism industry, which has been devastated by global travel restrictions in recent years.
