Phuket aims to attract 1 million foreign tourist arrivals in the fourth quarter and 3.5 million in total this year as operators on the island see positive signs from the recent easing of travel restrictions.
Bhummikitti Raktaengam, president of the Phuket Tourist Association, said international arrivals have increased to 3,000-5,000 per day since May 1, compared with 400-500 per day during the sandbox period and 2,500 per day under the "Test & Go" scheme.
