The government expects inbound tourism to be at around 8 million by the second half of 2021, well below 40 million in 2019. Thailand's exports to its major markets -- US, China, EU, and Japan -- will grow with the recovery of these markets. The major risks to economic recovery include the effectiveness of vaccines and the potential additional waves of the pandemic in Thailand. This will affect the recovery of Thai exports.
