Lite Beer Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 China’s golden week adds thousands tourists to ThailandBANGKOK, 3 October 2015 (NNT) – The number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand during the nationally holidays is estimated at 160,000 persons, causing 4.3 billion baht circulation of income, while the private sector is urging the government to accommodate tourists growth, TAT official says.The Asia and Southern Pacific Region Deputy Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Srisuda Wanapinyosak has revealed that the TAT is expecting Chinese tourists visiting Thailand during 1-7 October 2015 to be as high as 160,000 persons, a 40 percent increase compared to the previous year.She points that the forecasted influx of Chinese tourist during this period will circulate up to 4.3 billion baht to Thailand’s economy.Chinese tourists are the main segment of Thailand’s tourists. 60 percent of Chinese visitors are travelling through tour packages, while another 40 percent are free independent travelers (FIT).The TAT now expects the gross number of tourists visiting Thailand in 2015 to be at 29.92 million, higher than the previous forecast of 28.8 million, and expects income from tourism to be at 1.44 trillion baht, higher than the previous target of 1.4 trillion.On this matter, the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) advisor Siddiwat Cheewarattanaporn has said that it is likely that Chinese tourists inbound to Thailand could reach 7 million as the country has already welcomed 4.7 million Chinese visitors during the first seven months of this year.The increased number of tourists could pressure facilities operation capacity, thus he suggested that the government should help the tourism sector prepare to receive more tourists for the remainder of this year. -- NNT 2015-10-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesetat2013 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 So TAT believes that every Chinese tourist is gone to average spending approx. 27000 baht for a one week visit here. Very doubtful since most take cheap packages and stick with your groups and rarely purchase anything except food and drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCruncher Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand during the nationally holidays is estimated at 160,000 persons, causing 4.3 billion baht circulation of income, I guess that will mean circulating in China, because i always learned that 160.000 x 0 Baht is still 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdoglover Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Dear TAT, Thanks for the warning. PDL Edited October 4, 2015 by phoenixdoglover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomloughney Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 This is a one week holiday. So most traveling will want to be here for the week. If a plane holds 300 people then 533 flights will land at Swampy the first day of the holiday week. They will need about 5,000 tour bus to line up outside of Swampy to take them away. I may be wrong, but.......math is my strong point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
