In January 2023, Russia became the absolute leader in terms of the number of tourists among non-Asian states: 202,000 tourists visited the country. This is eight times more than in January 2022, when 23,760 tourists visited the country.
The increase in the flow of tourists from Russia is welcomed by the Thai tourism industry, which is looking to capitalize on this rapidly growing market segment. In response to this surge in the number of tourists from Russia, they have taken new measures, such as creating dedicated websites for obtaining information about visa requirements, increasing the number of border control officers to reduce customs clearance time at airports, increasing the number of service personnel in hotels .
The Thai government also understands that when it comes to attracting tourists from abroad, it is important that all aspects of a comfortable stay are taken into account - not only how much money tourists will spend during their stay in the country, but also how safe they will feel. during your stay. To this end, a number of initiatives have been implemented to make foreign visitors feel more secure, including additional police patrols near tourist hotspots and improved infrastructure in places frequented by foreign nationals such as airports, hotels, etc.
All this should help improve the quality of tourists' stay in Thailand.
