TAT predicts 18m foreign arrivals in 2023The arrivals hall at Suvarnabhumi airport is packed with tourists as the travel sector recovers. Somchai PoomlardTourism leaders are projecting 18 million foreign arrivals in 2023 while holding out little hope the Chinese market will return anytime soon, says the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). Mr Thanet said leading markets such as India and Malaysia already secured flight load factors of 85% and 68%, respectively. "We have to respect each country's decision on whether to ease travel restrictions," said Mr Thanet. He said the TAT has to accelerate other potential markets to achieve the target.
