Recently, the chief of advertising for THAI, Korakot Chatasingha, reported that the average number of New Year’s vacation reservations booked in advance has increased by around 65 percent annually. The average cabin factors for flights to Japan, around 70 percent, are among the highest. Currently, the airline has five distinct routes to Japan. In December, the airline plans to operate a service between Bangkok and Sapporo as a further effort to meet the needs of tourists. According to Korakot, “Japanese airlines are now receiving excellent comments from passengers, notably Thai visitors.” As a result of the Japanese government’s decision to relax some of the measures it had in place to prevent the spread of COVID and to allow a greater number of tourists into the country, there has been an…

As the colder months of the year draw closer, tourism officials in London launched a new marketing campaign to promote sunny Thailand. The “amazing THAILAND” emblem, which is used by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), has just been painted in pink across the top deck of a double-decker bus in London.

TAT is now in the process of implementing a number of new marketing programs in an effort to increase tourism in the “Land of Smiles.” At the beginning of this month, the Tourism Authority of Thailand…
Despite the elimination of Covid-19 restrictions, travel agents in Hong Kong report low tourist numbers. Tourists are returning to Hong Kong in small groups rather than on planned tours, although the 0+3 rule discourages them from doing so. All guests must undergo a three-day health examination upon arrival. Arrivals to restaurants, pubs, amusement parks, and museums are banned for three days and must be coronavirus-screened. On September 26, Hong Kong repealed the seven-day hotel quarantine and implemented 0+3. Hsu of TIC asserted that certified travel brokers could not organize tours prior to 0+3. Before the pandemic, four out of five tourists to Hong Kong were from China. The majority of arriving groups were touring. In January 2020, China ceased issuing tourist visas to Hong Kong residents and has no intentions to resume. China reduced quarantine restrictions on Friday. Now, new guests are required to spend five days in hotel quarantine…

A study revealed that the work visa program generated more revenue than wealthy tourists. During their time in Australia, young foreign employees spent approximately AU$10,000 on average. Officials took note of the trend, and as a result, they loosened and expanded the scope of their working visa program to accommodate digital nomads and elder travelers on career sabbaticals. Young people take more time off from work, have a stronger sense of adventure when traveling, and are typically the most likely to travel. When the Covid-19 pandemic subsided, the first persons to resume traveling over the globe were young travelers. This included the quick renewal of the backpacker scene in Thailand at the same time. According to the Tourism Australia spokesperson, young travelers have their entire lives ahead of them, meaning they will be able to take more travels as they age and earn more money in the future. This is…

The National reports that out of a total of 57,000 travelers, 49,000 came from different countries. There were 25 international flights that landed in total. However, if that implies that each airplane carries around 2,200 passengers, then this information must be incorrect. According to Flight Statistics, roughly 266 flights are scheduled for Thursday. In a statement issued Wednesday, immigration officers officially confirmed the accuracy of the data. Immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi Airport were able to process 3,500 passports every 30 minutes during the busiest time before the outbreak.

Airports of Thailand (AOT) said that they are in negotiations with…
