TAT sets conservative targets for 2009

Daily news, 25 Jul 2008

BANGKOK – Revealing its marketing plan for 2009, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) announced a slightly conservative target of THB630 billion in foreign tourism revenue from 16 million visitor arrivals for next year.

Adjusted from earlier projections, the tourism target for Thailand is considered more realistic, given the current challenges posed by soaring oil prices, which have been affecting major industries across the globe.

This year’s foreign tourism target is generating THB600 billion in revenue from 15.48 million arrivals. Tourism was earlier projected to grow by 10 percent in foreign revenue next year expecting a total of 17 million visitor arrivals.
