Thai PM chairs “Amazing Thailand 10 Million Celebrations” at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Thai Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha presided over the “Amazing Thailand 10 Million Celebrations” welcome ceremony at Suvarnabhumi Airport, one of key airports and border checkpoints holding momentous events to mark tourist arrivals from around the world reaching the 10 million mark – the target set for 2022.
PM Prayut said “On behalf of the Thai Government, the Thai people and Thai entrepreneurs in the travel and tourism industry, I wish to extend a warmest welcome to all visitor arrivals. I hope you will take this opportunity to experience Thailand in many aspects including charming tradition and culture, beautiful nature, and delightful food. The Thai people is ready to be a good host to all travellers who are the guests of Thailand.”
The achievement of reaching the 10 million visitor mark before the end of the year is a clear sign of visitor confidence in Thailand as a preferred tourist destination, and symbolises the kingdom’s well-established status as one of the world’s most popular holiday spots.
H.E. Mr. Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Minister of Tourism and Sports, said “The target of 10 million arrivals in 2022 has been met, as was promised to the Thai government. It is a milestone achievement that reflects the successful restoring of Thailand’s tourism industry, an achievement which has come about from the concerted efforts of all stakeholders in the public and private sectors.”
