Quote from Nana Trader:
statistic on thai tourism have shown, anyone visited thailand, had returned at least 3 times in his life time.
Tourism growth rate "average 8%" is one of the fastest in the world. In 2006 around 13 million and 2007 expected 14.5 million tourist. There was slow growth in 2004 and 2005 due to Tsunami, SARS and bird flue....but recovering
I'm sure brazil and many latin american countries offers hotter woman & sex than thailand, but their tourism growth isn't half as much Thailand. Brazil has 6 million tourist arrival and Philippine 3 million, Indonesia 5.5 million
It's not about sex only, open your eyes, it's about people attitude and Thailand environment that brings in tourist. The growth rate for Family category has outperformed single tourists in recent years.
13 million in 2007? That figure alone would keep many away. Are there any locals left. Looks like Thailand is slowly becoming a Disneyland.
Seems like the main attraction is the low cost thesesdays.
