snoop1130 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Chinese tourist arrivals are staging a phenomenal comeback, promising a lucrative windfall for local hotels just in time for the high season. Analysts predict this tourist surge to continue its upward trajectory, creating an economic boom for the hotel industry. Chinese tourist arrivals are making an astonishing recovery this month, igniting hopes for a booming hospitality sector that analysts believe will persist until the upcoming Chinese New Year on February 10. Official data reveals a bounce-back in December, with key markets such as China, Russia, South Korea, and India leading the resurgence. According to Boonyakorn Amornsank, an analyst with Maybank Kim Eng Securities (Thailand), average daily arrivals from China in the first half of the month accelerated to 47% of the daily average in the same period of 2019. Boonyakorn asserts that this momentum is expected to persist through to Chinese New Year on February 10 next year. However, the Maybank analyst highlights a potential hurdle— the slow resumption of flight capacity for Chinese flag carriers, posing a downside risk to the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s ambitious target of hosting 8.2 million Chinese visitors in 2024, compared to the projected 3.5 million for this year.

Popular Post daveAustin Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2023 Will avoid ThaiVisa if this rubbishy clickbait posting continues. It’s all to get you to comment. First, if they are making an astonishing comeback it goes against most of what has been posted of late Second, if it is true, it benefits just a few moneymakers while pissing off practically everybody else Third, YUCK! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who believes their BS The best approach I find, if you're at all interested - I get that most aren't, is just to look at the official numbers at the end of each month, compare it with historical data and draw your own conclusions. Too much effort for the majority, but I got interested during Covid because I live in a tourist city and wanted to gauge the scale and pace of recovery from a unique zero start point. The articles on here are from numerous different sources with varying degrees of credibility so the last thing to expect is consistency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who believes their BS Talk is cheap, but I trust more the flight management of the airlines; they know when their planes are full, or only half-full... On what does this Maybank analyst base his optimistic projections; last night's cannabis intake?
