Play
THE GOVERNMENT and private sector are preparing more tourism packages to drive domestic travel and boost total tourism revenue from Bt2.2 trillion last year to Bt2.4 trillion this year.
“It seems that the global economy will not be good this year. However, Thai tourism should not follow that.
“Instead, it should squeeze through all the problems this year, as the industry has faced and survived many crises,” Somkid Jatusripitak, the deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs, said Monday.
To keep tourism on its growth trajectory and strengthen the overall economy this year, the government has outlined tourism plans specifically aimed at promoting domestic tourism.
