Tourist arrivals totaled 7.56 million as of Oct. 30, with at least 1.5 million visitors a month expected during the remainder of the year, government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said in a statement Saturday.
More than 1 million Malaysians have toured Thailand this year, making them the single-largest group of travelers to the Southeast Asian country famous for its beaches, national parks and Buddhist temples. South-East Asia’s second-largest economy is counting on tourism revival to offset the hit from high global energy prices and volatile financial markets that sent its currency to a 16-year low and inflation to a 14-year high earlier this year.
The number of visitors may surge to 18 million next year and generate about 970 billion baht in tourism revenue, Anucha said, citing a forecast by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. That’s still a far cry from the year before the pandemic when the nation recorded almost 40 million foreign arrivals and more than $60 billion in tourism revenue.
