The Thai market for tourism and logistics software is expected to grow at twice the rate of the overall software market this year, with factors such as logistics-hub development, e-commerce, mobility and the 4G network being the main drivers. As a result of these factors, local tourism software has by far the majority share of the Thai market, at around 70 per cent, he added. Somboon said measures taken to support the tourism sector would also drive business usage of tourism software aimed at improving productivity and the sector’s supply chain. There is therefore high potential for local software firms to provide tourism software to help these operators. Suwimol said there was therefore still much room for local developers to provide software to support tourism and logistics industries.
