Popular Post webfact 82,703 Posted January 29 Popular Post Share Posted January 29 Tourism minister: Foreigners will start returning in second half of the year -10 million on the way File photo Thailand's tourism minister Pipat Ratchakitprakan told the Thai media that all those under his command were working on the 2021 tourism masterplan. It was crucial that clear plans for both domestic and foreign tourism were in place, said the billionaire minister. He said he was following the pandemic news closely as part of this. The TAT has predicted 10 million foreigners will visit in the second half of the year spending 50,000 baht each on average. The predictions are that total tourism will be up on 2020 - 44% up for foreigners, 33% up domestic. Tourism earnings this year are expected to be 1.2 trillion baht with the market made up of 42% foreigners and 58% Thais. Last year's tourism ministry figures showed there were 6.7 million foreign visitors nearly all of whom arrived prior to the pandemic. Arrivals on the special tourist visa, business visa and Elite card holders combined amounted to 10,822 only between October and December 2020. Of these 1,201 arrived in October, 3,065 in November and 6,556 in December. Of all the foreign arrivals last year 3.7 million were east Asians. 1.65 million were ASEAN nationals. 1.2 million came from China, 320,000 from Japan. Two million Europeans came to Thailand in 2020 and 318,000 US nationals. 321,000 arrived from south Asia, 79,000 from the middle east and 24,000 from Africa. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-01-29 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 23 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post ThailandRyan 18,510 Posted January 29 Popular Post Share Posted January 29 Just makes me want to sing, so happy, so lucky to live in a country where all is right and millions would come and visit. The Tourism Minister must be singing the following: You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharin' all the world Yoo, hoo, oo-oo You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will live as one 3 Link to post Share on other sites
