BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand’s foreign tourist arrivals from January 1 to July 27 fell 6.18% from the same period a year earlier, the Tourism Ministry said on Tuesday.
There were about 18.98 million foreign visitors during the period, it said in a statement. China was the largest source market with 2.64 million visitors.
Last month, the Bank of Thailand cut its forecast for foreign tourist arrivals this year to 35 million from 37.5 million. There was a record of nearly 40 million visitors in 2019, before the pandemic.
