Small hotel bookings register recovery

Mr Supakrit says as foreign tourists started to dominate bookings last year at small hotels, average room rates increased from the pre-Covid era.

A study of small hotels and hostels found current bookings are higher than pre-pandemic levels, with bookings from foreign tourists exceeding those of domestic tourists.

As the tourism industry recovers quickly, bookings have increased by 26% more than the pre-Covid era, said Supakrit Phansomboon, Little Hotelier's country manager for Thailand.
