Thailand's political situation is turbulent, and the tourism industry has been seriously affected. The reporter learned from Youyi travel website yesterday that due to security problems, the number of tourists to Thailand has decreased significantly in recent months. Many tourists have changed their routes to travel to Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Bali, Vietnam, Cambodia and other Southeast Asian regions.
After entering April, the number of domestic tourists to Thailand has decreased significantly, and there are plenty of flight seats. "In the past year, the number of domestic tourists to Thailand can account for the top three in Southeast Asia, but it is estimated that these two months are the last three. Most of them are business guests who have to go." When the situation in Thailand was turbulent last month, Bangkok, Chiang Mai and other places were greatly affected. Most tourists delayed or diverted their travel to other regions of Southeast Asia. Airlines also implemented the measures of free extension or refund of tickets to Thailand. In May, the situation in Thailand escalated again, and airlines have not issued the policy of ticket refund and visa change.
For safety reasons, tourism experts suggest that tourists should suspend their travel to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and other places in Thailand in the near future, and tourists who intend to go to Phuket Island can choose similar Bali. Wang Yili, marketing director of Youyi travel.com, said that at present, the number of traditional "Singapore Malaysia Thailand tours" has dropped sharply. Tourists have chosen to travel to Singapore, Malaysia, or Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. At the same time, Bali, long beach and menthol island are also welcomed.
