Looking ahead to the second quarter (from April to June), the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) projects that approximately 8.27 million foreign tourists will explore the country. This anticipated surge represents a substantial 29% increase compared to the same period last year. These visitors are expected to generate a significant revenue of approximately 367.9 billion baht, reflecting a 25% rise from the previous year.
Thailand’s tourism sector continues to thrive, and the TAT’s strategic efforts aim to balance economic benefits with sustainable management to prevent negative effects of overtourism. Whether it’s the vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, or warm hospitality, Thailand remains a captivating destination for travelers worldwide.
