In order to promote tourism, Thailand has designated the Spring Festival in China as a legal holiday. Will you travel to Thailand under the influence of the epidemic?

On December 29th, 22, the Cabinet of Ministers of Thailand decided to increase some special statutory holidays in 221 to promote the development of domestic tourism, including the China Lunar New Year.

Thai media quoted Thai Minister of Culture Itipong as saying that in order to promote the development of domestic tourism in Thailand, the cabinet meeting held that day agreed to increase some special legal holidays, including the China Lunar New Year on February 12, 221, which is the first time that the Thai government has listed the China Spring Festival as a legal holiday in Thailand.

Itipong also said that during the long vacation, people's travel frequency and consumption level will increase to varying degrees, which will help stimulate economic growth in various regions and promote the development of domestic tourism. When the news came out, it was simply a hot search.

Let's take a look at the data of Chinese tourists traveling to Thailand in the past two years. In 218, the number of foreign tourists entering Thailand reached a record high, reaching an unprecedented 38 million. Among them, Chinese mainland tourists broke through the 1 million mark for the first time; In the first three months of 219, Thailand received 1.8 million foreign tourists visiting Thailand, an increase of 1.8%. Although data from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports show that the number of tourists from China who came to Thailand decreased in the first three months, the number of tourists from China is still higher than that from other countries, including 3.11 million tourists from China. Moreover, among the tourists who spend the most in Thailand, China tourists rank first with 172 billion baht (99 million RMB). However, due to the epidemic situation this year, the tourism industry in all countries has been affected to some extent. However, according to the data of the previous two years, the benefits brought by China tourists in tourism are still very optimistic. Why do China tourists like to travel to Thailand? What are the advantages of going to Thailand during the Spring Festival holiday? Advantage 1: It takes short time and is convenient. Thailand is a country close to China. Because it takes a relatively short time to fly, it usually takes half a day to get there, instead of staying on the plane for a long time. Advantage 2: The climate is suitable. Because Thailand has a tropical monsoon climate, the temperature is around 16℃ to 25℃ all the year round, and the Spring Festival is no exception. When we have only a few degrees in winter, it is a good choice to choose a warm place, so it is very worthwhile to go to Thailand in the Spring Festival just because of this comfortable temperature. Advantage 3: Thailand's capital is also a very suitable place to go for the New Year. In China, there are many temples in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, where incense can be burned, but it is worth noting that basically no photos are allowed in temples in Thailand. Remember to read the signs next to them. Advantage 4: Thailand's prices are relatively cheap. Although the prices of air tickets, hotels and other things have risen in Thailand during the Spring Festival, they will still be much cheaper than those in China. Even during the Spring Festival, you can go shopping in duty-free shops, so it is a good choice to travel to Thailand during the Spring Festival. If the epidemic situation is well controlled and the economy is booming in the coming Spring Festival, it is not a good choice to travel to Thailand.
