Chinese tourists are Thailand's biggest source of visitors. AOT shares plunged 2.75 baht or 3.85% to 68.75 baht, while MINT stocks dipped 2.25 baht or 6.72% to 31.25 baht. I think about 90% of Chinese tourists will disappear each month," Chairat Triratanajaraspon, president of the Tourism Council of Thailand, told Reuters. The council earlier predicted about 11 million Chinese tourists this year, after 10.99 million in 2019. In 2019, Chinese tourists accounted for 28% of overall foreign tourists, and their spending was 544 billion baht.
