Travel bookings to Thailand have seen a significant surge, according to online travel agent Traveloka. The company’s president, Caesar Indra, highlighted that despite the slow recovery of the aviation sector, Thais have predominantly utilised their platform for air ticket bookings, veering towards less frequented destinations. This trend has been mirrored across numerous Asian markets.

 

Indra reported a fivefold increase in inbound flight bookings to Thailand within the first half of this year, in comparison to the same period in the previous year. However, the revival of international flights this year was slower than anticipated.

 

The global aviation industry has struggled with staff shortages, as they attempt to coax workers back who lost their jobs during the pandemic.
