Thai Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said that China's gradual restoration of its citizens' overseas travel and other favorable factors could boost Thai tourism sector, the key economic growth contributor of the country, which is expected to push the Thai economy to grow 3.8 percent in 2023.
“The recent policy of resuming outbound tourism for Chinese citizens in an orderly manner would help restore the confidence of the world in terms of the promotion of tourism while making a good contribution to the global economy,” Managing Director of Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) Aftabur Rehman Rana said.
