The Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT) expects the tourism industry to be a major driver of GDP growth this year as flights and arrivals continue to rebound, though rising untaxed online travel agents and illegal foreign operators continue to limit the full benefits of the rebound.

According to the Tourism Ministry, Thailand currently welcomes over 130,000 arrivals a day, including Chinese tourists whose numbers have increased to 30,000 daily arrivals from 10,000.

The National Economic and Social Development Council forecasts economic growth of between 1.5-2.5% this year, after GDP grew by 2.4% last year.
