24% decrease from same period in 2024
Thailand is expected to welcome 200,000 Chinese tourists during the Chinese eight-day Golden Week holiday, a 24% year-on-year decrease, with revenue projected to drop 17% to 9.1 billion baht despite growth in outbound travel from mainland China.
Outbound bookings for the holiday this year surged 28% year-on-year, while international seat capacity rose by 10% to both shortand long-haul destinations, according to ForwardKeys, an air traffic data company.
The growth in travel demand was attributed to visa-free entry to many countries and depreciation of the yen.
The most popular destinations remained in Japan, with Osaka and Tokyo reporting increases of 66% and 24%, respectively.
