Why has tourism in Thailand become more expensive?

I have no money, so I don't want to travel to Thailand. It costs at least three times more to go there!

The world is so big that I want to see it. Just three years after the epidemic, domestic tourism broke out, and all the scenic spots were crowded with people, which was very lively. After the Spring Festival, outbound travel ignited more enthusiasm.

TOP5 data shows that since the pilot of outbound and group tours was restarted on February 6th, the number of domestic airlines entering and leaving civil aviation passengers has exceeded 276,000, a year-on-year increase of nearly 4.4 times. Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Xiamen and Chengdu are the cities with the largest number of outbound tourists.

In the first month after the resumption of accreditation, the Shanghai Exit-Entry Administration Department * * accepted more than 380,000 entry-exit documents of China citizens, a record high.

Among them, Southeast Asian countries have become the first choice for everyone to travel abroad, and Thailand is favored by China tourists!

However, "Thailand is not what it was three years ago, and the cost of going to Thailand this year is more than three times." This is the voice of most China tourists who travel to Thailand!

In 20 19, China tourists were the largest tourist source in Thailand, reaching 1 1 10,000 person-times.

In recent years, global floods and soaring prices have affected markets such as Europe, America and Southeast Asia. Thailand's prices are rising too fast. Violation of the rules for three years, no cost-effective impression! On March 7th, the pilot of outbound and group tours resumed for one month, and Thailand became the most popular international tourist destination. Countless China tourists who have not traveled abroad for three years choose Thailand as the cheapest and most convenient first destination. Thailand's tourism industry, which has been stagnant for three years and is being restarted, is also in urgent need of tourists from China.

But now, the price increase has become the biggest obstacle in this two-way trip.

Some tourists said that in the past, freshly squeezed roadside juice only cost 10-20 baht (about 2-4 yuan RMB), but this year it costs 60 baht (about 12 yuan RMB), which is similar to that of first-and second-tier cities in China. In the restaurants I used to go to, the prices have increased more or less, and some of them have closed. The owner of a small restaurant I often go to said that in recent years, China people have stopped traveling, and my colleagues can't stay up.

In addition, the price of going to sea in Thailand has doubled now. In the past, the price of chartering a boat to sea was about 30,000 baht (about 6,000 RMB), which is too expensive this year. The boatman quoted 6,543,800 baht (about 20,000 RMB).

Many people say that Thailand is expensive now.

Many, if Thailand has no price advantage, it will reduce the number of trips to Thailand or move to other places.

Why is travel in Thailand more expensive?

It is an indisputable fact that the price of tourism is higher now than it was three years ago. "Many people in the tourism industry are not surprised by the price increase of products.

According to the data of Tongcheng Research Institute, the overall average price of group tour products has increased significantly compared with that before the epidemic, with an increase of about 30%.

Yang Yang, general manager of Beijing Spring and Autumn Tourism, pointed out that the main reason affecting the price of outbound travel is still the supply of flights. Although international routes have recovered to about 15% before the epidemic since mid-February, there is still not much flight capacity to serve tour groups. "For example, there were two flights to Bangkok the day before, and now there is only one flight a week, so the itinerary of the tour group may be extended from five or six days to seven or eight days, and the total cost of accommodation and food will rise."

In addition, Yang Yang pointed out that after three years of epidemic, the overseas reception system for tourists in China has actually disappeared and needs to be rebuilt. For example, many local Chinese tour guides in Thailand have switched careers or returned to China, and Chinese-served shopping malls, restaurants and other facilities are also facing closure or incomplete opening, which in itself has correspondingly pushed up costs.

In fact, in June this year, 5438+ 10/2, the Tourism Authority of Thailand pointed out that due to the shortage of the market, the price of Thai tourism products targeted at China tourists increased by 20% on average compared with that before the epidemic. In addition, on February 14, Thailand announced that it would levy entry fees on foreign tourists from June.

So, as a final hint, let's not think about it for the time being and talk about it later. I hope you can travel around the world without spending money.
