Japan, China still tops for Thai travellers

Quick Summary:

Despite surging costs, Japan and China are expected to remain the top destinations for outbound Thai travellers this year, with at least 2.5 million flocking to those countries thanks to visa exemptions, weak currencies and various tourism products.

Mr Charoen said about 80% of the outbound market to China still chose major cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou.

For Japan, even though the travel cost rose 20% due to more expensive travel fares, accommodation and attractions, the appreciation of the baht against the yen helps to offset those costs.
