BANGKOK (NNT) – The Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Center (TMECC) has reported that since the end of 2022, a total of 83 international cruise ships carrying more than 310,000 passengers have generated over 2 billion baht in tourism-related income for Thailand.

 

Navy Commander Admiral Choengchai Chomchoengpaet, who serves as the deputy chief of TMECC, revealed these figures while highlighting the significant economic impact of cruise tourism on the country.

 

The recorded statistics encompass the period of October 2022 to the present, during which the TMECC has been responsible for ensuring the safety of tourists aboard cruise ships arriving in the Andaman Seas and the Gulf of Thailand. This commitment to safety aligns with the government’s tourism promotion policy, which aims to provide a secure and enjoyable experience for visitors.
