BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thailand is aiming for 5-15 million foreign tourist arrivals this year as the country further eases travel restrictions to support the key tourism sector, a government spokesperson said on Friday.
The tourists are expected to spend between 630 billion baht ($18.35 billion) and 1.2 trillion baht ($34.95 billion), Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said in a statement, citing the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s projection.
