Why is tourism in Thailand affected?

Thailand is one of the famous tourist attractions in Southeast Asia, with beautiful beaches, rich cultural heritage and delicious food. However, due to the impact of coronavirus pneumonia-19 epidemic, the global tourism industry has been greatly impacted, and Thailand's tourism industry is no exception. Thailand once attracted a large number of tourists from China because of its price advantage, but now the situation has changed. So after Thailand's tourism industry is affected, is the price advantage enough to attract tourists? Here, I will discuss this problem in detail.

First of all, the situation of tourism in Thailand. As a country that depends on tourism, Thailand's economic growth and development cannot be separated from the support of tourism. The outbreak of coronavirus pneumonia-19 has caused a huge impact on the global tourism industry, and Thailand is no exception. According to statistics, in 2020, Thailand's tourism industry will drop by 76.4%, with a loss as high as $7150,000. It will take time for the whole industry to recover. It can be seen that Thailand's tourism industry has suffered huge losses, which is a great blow to the development of tourism.

Second, the price advantage. Thailand's price advantage is an important factor to attract a large number of tourists from China, but in the case of coronavirus pneumonia-19, tourism safety and health have become more important. Although the price level in Thailand is relatively low, safety and health are the most important considerations for China tourists. Therefore, even if the price advantage still exists, safety and health factors may become more critical factors.

Third, changes in the tourism environment. Thailand is famous for its beautiful beaches, pleasant climate and long history, but under the situation of coronavirus pneumonia-19, the tourism environment has changed greatly. Some tourist attractions and shops have closed or shortened their business hours, and some gourmet shops and night markets are also at risk of closing. In addition, the epidemic situation of coronavirus pneumonia-19 also makes people pay more attention to health and safety issues, which will have a certain impact on the changes of tourism environment.

Finally, the cultural experience of tourism. Thailand is a country with a long history and culture, and the cultural experience of tourism is that Thailand is a country with a long history and culture, and the cultural experience of tourism is an important choice for tourists. In the case of coronavirus pneumonia-19 epidemic, some tourist attractions and cultural heritage are affected, and some may close or shorten their business hours. In addition, due to the impact of the coronavirus pneumonia-19 epidemic, some cultural activities and celebrations have been cancelled or postponed, which will affect the cultural experience of tourists.

On the whole, although Thailand's tourism industry has been affected, its price advantage still exists. For tourists, safety and health factors will also become more and more important considerations. It will take time for Thailand's tourism industry to recover, but once the tourism industry recovers, the price advantage will remain an important factor for Thailand to attract tourists.
