According to an official announcement from the Ministry of Tourism in Thailand, the number of foreign tourists that travel to Thailand will reach 100 million during Spring Festival. Almost half of the tourists will come from countries such as China, Singapore and Malaysia.
Travel to Thailand will regain its popularity this Spring Festival. In the short nine days that make up Spring Festival, from Feb. 6 to 14, the number of foreign tourists will increase 19 percent on last year, which is predicted to generate an income of 814 million dollars for Thailand, an increase of 32 percent on 2015.
It is predicted that 32 million foreign tourists will travel to Thailand this year. And Chinese are definitely one of the largest groups among them. Over 8 million Chinese people traveled in Thailand in 2015 and this number will continue to rise in 2016.
To welcome the Chinese people, several hotels and restaurants in Thailand make thorough preparations. "Workers of the Ministry of Tourism in Thailand are busy making travel brochures, providing conveniences for Chinese people at every scenic spot. In Chinatown, in the west of the capital Bangkok, the hanging red lanterns present a strong atmosphere of Spring Festival. Many restaurants prepare song and dance performances in Chinese ethnic styles and traditional Chinese foods for Chinese tourists," said a spokesman of the Ministry of Tourism in Thailand.
Benefiting from the continuously increasing number of Chinese tourists, Bangkok was selected as the favorite travel destination in the Asia-Pacific regions of 2015.
