Malaysia, Japan, and Korea are the important destinations from where the large amount of visitors come to Thailand. Apart from ASEAN countries, tourist arrivals from China and India will remain influential throughout the forecast period (2007-2011).
It is also expected that inbound tourist expenditure per head will increase by around 10.49% in 2011 as compared to 2006.
Thailand has been promoting its healthcare tourism, where it is providing the visitors with private healthcare facilities. It is expected that the tourist arrival for the purpose of medical treatment will reach two Million by 2010.
Youth is generally considered to be the adopter of new products and concepts. This provides the tourism industry with the opportunity to target the young age group as their potential customers. It is expected that the population aged between 15-64 years will constitute 69.2 % of the total population by 2011.
Increasing disposable income will definitely open the opportunities for both the outbound and domestic tourism. It is expected that Thailand per head disposable income will increase with the CAGR value of 6.54 % for the period spanning from 2007 to 2011.
Regional demand for travel will continue to be dominated by short trips by Thai travelers to take advantage of cheap shopping and resort facilities in other ASEAN countries. This trend will be supported by the growing popularity of low-cost carriers, which are being given access to the local market.
