Thailand’s Tourism Boom: Welcoming Millions in 2024

Thailand anticipates a surge in tourism, expecting 18.2 million visitors from July to December 2024, a 20% rise from last year. China leads arrivals with 3.6 million tourists, followed by Malaysia (2.5 million) and South Korea (1 million). The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) projects a total of 35.89 million foreign visitors in 2024, generating 1.8 trillion baht in revenue, a 31% increase from 2023.

Entry policy changes, such as relaxed land and sea entry requirements until October 2024, make travel more convenient. However, geopolitical tensions and major events like the UEFA European Football Championship and the Paris Olympics may have their own stamp on growth. Top accommodations like the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, a famous go-to Bangkok luxury hotel, are well-positioned to benefit from this tourism boom.
