In Thailand, where Chinese travelers account for 30% of arrivals, the fallout from the coronavirus has already been substantial. "This results in an estimated loss of about $3 billion (93.6 billion baht)," Supasorn tells CNN Travel. No one wants to go out because everyone is afraid of the virus," Filipe Ferreira, managing director of Restaurante Litoral in Taipa, tells CNN Travel. While Europe, the Americas and the UK are less dependent on Chinese travelers, they may still feel the effects. It took 16 months for China to return to pre-crisis international arrival levels, a spokesperson from the WTTC tells CNN Travel.
