An official from the Thai government stated on Monday that they anticipate the country’s tourist industry will bring in 2.38 trillion baht ($64.50 billion) in income in 2023.
According to the spokeswoman for the government, Anucha Burapachaisri, the goal for tourism in 2020 is for it to reach 80 percent of its level in 2019, which was before the epidemic. This is a crucial growth industry that is beginning to see a recovery as the pandemic begins to subside.
According to what he said, revenue from international tourists is anticipated to range anywhere from 970 billion to 1.5 trillion baht the following year.
According to Anucha, Thailand anticipates 1.5 million new visitors every month in the last quarter of 2022, and she also mentioned that September has already witnessed more than one million tourists. The number 10 million tourists each year is the objective set by the government.
The economy of the second-largest country in Southeast Asia is driven mostly by tourism. In 2019, it played host to close to 40 million guests, who collectively spent 1.91 quadrillion baht.
