Thailand’s foreign tourist arrivals drop 7.11% in first nine months

Investing.com -- Thailand’s foreign tourist arrivals fell 7.11% year-on-year to 22.39 million visitors from January 1 to September 7, according to data released by the Tourism Ministry on Tuesday.

China remained the largest source market with 3.16 million visitors during this period, the ministry said in a statement.

The decline comes after Thailand’s state planning agency in August reduced its forecast for foreign tourist arrivals in 2025 to 33 million from an earlier projection of 37 million.

Thailand’s tourism sector, a key driver of the country’s economy, has yet to fully recover to pre-pandemic levels.

The Southeast Asian nation recorded nearly 40 million foreign visitors in 2019, marking an all-time high before COVID-19 disrupted global travel.
