Popular Post snoop1130 Posted December 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2019 Tourism from Dec 28-Jan 5 to generate Bt82 billion in revenue: Kasikorn Research Centre By THE NATION Both Thai and foreign tourists travelling in Thailand from December 28 to January 5 are expected to generate revenue of Bt82.2 billion, up 1.3 per cent year on year, Kasikorn Research Centre said. However, the growth this year is lower than the 7.4 per cent in 2018. Spending by local and foreign tourists this year is expected to be lower than last year due to a slowing economy in a number of countries including Thailand. The strengthening baht has also affected travelling costs of tourists from some countries. In the nine days, Thai tourists are expected to generate approximately Bt28.2 billion, increasing 0.6 per cent from the same period last year, according to the centre. One positive factor is the government’s “Eat, Shop, Spend” scheme, in which people who have registered and spend money on eating, shopping or travelling can get a certain amount of money back. The campaign ends on January 31, 2020. The centre also expects foreign tourists to spend around Bt54 billion in the country, increasing 1.7 per cent from the same period last year. The tourist business in Thailand will nevertheless face challenges amid economic risk factors, which will play a key role in influencing decisions made by tourists on travelling and spending, the centre said. Furthermore, the tourism sector will face price competition from other countries as they seek to woo more travellers, while digital disruption and climate change will also pose challenges.

So the good news is that the bad news isn't so bad? Now there are only two main economic sectors contributing to GDP growth it seems: tourism (17%) and government spending. Sustained increases in tourism is proving to be high risk. Government spending is at moderate risk due to unsustainable continued military foreign procurement, foreign loans & investment in long-term projects, high currency value and short-term consumer "gifts" while its economic policies actually encourage more household debt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 When reading this article I cannot understand the previous ones that states tourism is down-down-down, the predicted revenue increase is about double as high as the inflation so there is an increase. It seems like the tourists are changing, we have for example again-and-again read about Pattaya becoming a family destination, so it must be good news if Walking Street is fairly empty, showing that the predicted change has been manifested ...????

P100 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thais don't understand foreigners at all. Generally not. How can they assume they can predict foreigners who did not even arrive? But I am sure, end of January they will have great results, an increase of one trillion percent. Good Luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
