Flight frequency, jewellery tax cuts are among the measures to attain the US$87 billion revenue target by 2024.
Thailand has welcomed 18.5 million foreign tourists so far this year, with up to 28 million projected by the end of the year.
Srettha said he would make a trip to India this year with plans to meet his counterpart Narendra Modi and discuss increasing flight frequency between the two countries, including more services by flag carrier Thai Airways International Pcl. Thailand may also mull other measures to boost Indian tourist arrivals, such as offering tax exemptions on jewelry imported for Indian weddings held in Thailand, a popular destination for such ceremonies, he said. As Indian tourists already can easily obtain Thai visas, a visa waiver may not be necessary, he said.
The visa waiver programme is expected to bring in 35 billion baht from Chinese tourists, Srettha said during the forum.
