KRABI: -- KRABI used to flip-flop between having a regimented high-season – catering to winter snowbird visitors from Scandinavia and Europe – and a low-season during which many hotels even scrapped breakfast buffets.

However, the latest research by C9 Hotelworks reveals skyrocketing airlift is edging the market towards being a year-round destination.

The C9 Hotelworks ‘Krabi Hotel Market Update 2016’ report reveals that between 2014 and 2015, passenger arrivals grew by a whopping 45 per cent. At the mid-year point in 2016, year-on-year arrivals were 13 per cent, but are expected to grow with the upcoming high season. 

Fresh data from global hospitality giant STR shows a jump in occupancy of international-standard properties to at least 70 per cent.

Can someone explain this graph to me as it appears to be a little weird.

 

Sch Flights have decreased over the 2014/2015 period, but Sch Arrivals have shot up.

 

meanwhile

 

Non-Sch Flights have skyrocketed but shows a decline in Non-Sch Arrivals.

DoctorG.  Surely you have been here long enough to know NOT to expect any statistics to make sense.
