Floods to eat upto Bt25bn in tourism revenue

Thailand should lose about Bt15-Bt25 billion in tourism revenue this year as the number of tourists drop in light of floods, according to Kasikorn Research Centre.


 The house anticipated that the number of tourists should fall by 350,000-600,000.
 The forecast is based on the assumption that Suvarnabhumi Airport, the door to Thailand to 70 per cent of arrivals, can function normally.
 Earlier, it expected tourist arrivals to reach 19.29 million, which should generate revenue of Bt730 billion.
