When attempting to pick where to spend our time off during the holidays, it’s likely that all of us have a similar train of thought: “what would APEC do?” The recently concluded Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Bangkok is expected, in the opinion of Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, to have a significant positive impact on the country’s worldwide tourism industry. After seeing Thailand highlighted as part of the APEC Summit, an official spokeswoman for the government stated today that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha hopes that more international tourists will be interested in visiting Thailand as a result. After a meeting with the Royal Family on Friday and the closing ceremony with the formal leaders’ proclamation, the organization’s Economic Leaders week just finished off yesterday. But despite the fact that tourists probably do not choose their vacation spots based on which political conferences are held there, Thailand made it…

However, at this point in time, city officials in Pattaya anticipate that the festival will return with an attendance that is far higher than in years past. The organizers of the festival have stated that one of their goals is to make this year’s event one that will be remembered by incorporating, among other things, musical performances and cultural activities.

The festival may be traced back to its initial goal, which was to honor…
In one of the provinces in northern Thailand, the abundant pink lotus blooms are luring tourists to the area. Over 100 rai of land in the lake and swamp known as Bueng Boraphet, which is located in the province of Nakhon Sawan, is currently covered in lotuses.

According to a story from Nation Thailand, Governor Ekkarat stated that the province planned to attract 10 million tourists from both inside and outside of Thailand and anticipated generating at least 1 billion baht in revenue.

As of the 26th of October, Thailand had already exceeded the 7 million mark in terms of the number of international tourists who visited the country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is advised to exert pressure on Thai embassies and consulates abroad to promote Phuket’s bid for the role of Specialized Expo 2027/28 host city. Sunday, a source from the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) cited three reasons for the bureau’s insistence that Phuket is selected as the venue. They are as follows: Phuket will serve as an ideal location because it is already a global health hub and a major medical tourism destination. As part of the “People, Planet, and Prosperity” idea, the Phuket exposition will highlight efforts to eliminate disparities in public health care and save the environment. Specialized Expos, also known as “International Recognized Exhibitions,” are global gatherings that strive to provide a specific solution to a current dilemma facing humanity. According to the source, campaign teams from Thailand and other nations have been actively lobbying Bureau World des Expositions (BIE) members…

As the colder months of the year draw closer, tourism officials in London launched a new marketing campaign to promote sunny 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.

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.
