Thailand Eyes Middle East Market to Make Up for Chinese Tourists
Thailand aims to boost tourist arrivals and spending from the Middle East and Southeast Asia to help offset declining revenue largely caused by a drop in visitors from China.
'The Middle East market is a supporting factor helping to boost tourism revenue as it currently has a growth of about 17% to 18%,' Tourism Authority of Thailand Governor Thapanee Khiatpaibool said on Monday. 'We need to increase the volume of arrivals from the Middle East and airlines.'
