Thailand is on course to surpass its target to attract 10 million foreign visitors this year as Malaysians and Indians lead the return of holidaymakers, even as zero-Covid rules keep most Chinese travellers at home.
Tourist arrivals totalled 7.56 million as of Oct 30, with at least 1.5 million a month expected during the remainder of the year, government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said in a statement on Saturday. Flight bookings from India and Malaysia to Thailand showed a load-factor of 85% and 68% respectively during November and December, he said.
