This year, over one million Malaysian visitors have traveled to Thailand, and Thai officials are want to maintain those numbers climbing as high as possible. This year, the Land of Smiles welcomed 1,041,293 visitors from Malaysia between the first of the year and the seventh of October. When they visit Thailand, tourists from Malaysia are now going to a greater number of the country’s provinces than they did in the past. According to Tanes Petsuwan, deputy governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Malaysian visitors used to visit Thailand exclusively for their vacations and stay in Songkhla the entire time. However, they are now traveling to Krabi, Phatthalung, Phuket, Satun, Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai in addition to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. According to the National News Bureau of Thailand, the revenue generated by tourism in Thailand due to the presence of tourists from Malaysia was around 26.6 billion baht. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) now has the goal of increasing the number of tourists coming from Malaysia to 1.8 million by the end of the year.
As Thailand approaches the busy season, which coincides with the school holiday in Malaysia, it is anticipated that the number will significantly increase. In addition, it falls on the same dates as the festivals of Christmas and New Year’s. Tanes stated that the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will continue to organize tourism promotion activities in an effort to reach its objective of 1.8 million Malaysian tourists by the end of the year. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the largest tourist group in Thailand this year was made up of Malaysians. India, Laos, and Cambodia were the next three countries that welcomed the most tourists after Thailand. It was stated that more than five million tourists from other countries visited Thailand between the 1st of January and the 8th of September. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) predicted that the number of tourists would surpass 10 million based on the number of advanced flight and hotel bookings for the following three months. We will soon find out if the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is able to fulfill its goals of 1.8 million Malaysian tourists and a total of 10 million tourists from other countries by the end of the year.
