Key insights from PATAmPOWER

Russia dominates Thailand’s inbound market from Europe in 1Q2017


 
A review of inbound performances from European markets to Thailand in 1Q2017 shows that visitor arrivals from the Russian Federation led the pack with a 22 percent share. The latest figures also show strong growth of 36.5 percent compared to the same period last year. Although the UK was in second place last year, Germany secured this position in 1Q2017 with 283,274 arrivals (12.7% share). Arrivals from France also increased by 3.5 percent compared to 1Q2016 but other source markets in Europe such as Sweden, Italy, Denmark and Switzerland showed a decrease in visitors to Thailand during this period.
