Lately, Chinese tourists tend to opt for cultural tourism, their essential motivation is to learn, discover, experience, and consume the tangible and intangible cultural attractions

Garbled, confusing and quite frankly duller than an in-flight magazine produced by Air Belgium!

Lots of farangs come to Pattaya for the same reasons.

...the booking of tours to Thailand did not increase further, due to tour operations that had previously been booked before the visa exemption.

Ridiculous statement

Collapsing real estate investments/ripoffs, huge budget shortfalls among county and city governments and increasing unemployment or non-paid work.  There is a good chance that the Chinese economy is about to fall off the edge.  Chinese tourists swooping in to save TAT projections is highly unlikely.

Maybe it's just me ... but last few days i have definately seen a rise in the number of Chinese tourists around Lower Sukhumvit and Silom. BTS was packed with them. 

 

Prior to this i definately noticed less off them about. 

 

Maybe a coincidence but i doubt it.

In that scenario it will help Thailand, as many Chinese will look for budget holidays. Thailand is a budget holiday for Chinese. The elite, and aspirational Chinese population yearn to go to Europe or America. 

 

The sheer volume of the Chinese population means their numbers are going to be astronomical again.
