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. Photos taken by Pattaya Mail show that underneath the company logo are two images of boats sailing in the ocean, along with the hashtags #AmazingThailand and #AlwaysWarm. The new advertisement that was released by TAT promotes the province of Rayong, which is located in the country’s eastern region, as well as Pak Meng Island, which is located in the country’s Trang province. 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…

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. As a result, they were able to effectively process the 3,000 international arrivals each hour without having anyone wait outside of the core immigration area. Thailand is experiencing a rise in the number of tourists. Thursday, Suvarnabhumi Airport, which serves as both Bangkok’s principal airport and Thailand’s primary international hub, reported receiving 57,000 international passengers. This number is approaching uncomfortably close to…

He warned that immigration authorities must be on the alert for foreign criminals posing as tourists, especially given that the APEC 2022 Summit will be held in Bangkok the following week.

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

Would you believe that fuel prices, labor shortages, and a lack of aircraft contribute to the high cost of flights? The US Labor Department reported a 43% spike in airline CPI in September. Airlines for America said that ticket prices were still low last year, yet CPI airfares increased by 8% from September 2018 and September 2019. After a summer of cancellations and delays, airlines seem to have regained their equilibrium. By restricting flights, they halted the rise of the industry. Andrew Watterson, COO of Southwest Airlines, acknowledged the unusual circumstance. “Demand is greater than supply. During the summer, higher ticket prices compensated for an 80% increase in aircraft fuel costs and surpassed 2019’s revenues. Despite recent price reductions, industry experts do not anticipate cheap fares in the near future. Domestic round-trip tickets in March 2023 cost an average of US$350, up 26% from last year and 28% from 2019.…
