The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has revised up the 2016 tourism revenue target by 14% year-on-year to 2.58 trillion baht following strong growth in the first nine months.
Of the revised projection, 1.72 trillion baht will come from foreign tourists, up 18% from last year, and the remaining 860 billion baht from local travel, up 7%, said TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn.
"The upward revision is based on the strong growth in the first nine months for both foreign and local tourist markets," he said.
