BANGKOK, 30th November 2016 (NNT) – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is aiming to attract more tourists from China in the wake of the Prime Minister’s direction to boost tourism by 6 percent this year, following the damage low-cost tour operators have caused among the Chinese public.

TAT’s East Asia Region Executive Director Srisuda Wanapinyosak, said today that TAT is now targeting tourists from China after the number of Chinese tourists to Thailand was affected by the government’s effort to eradicate illegal tour operators from China, and to push for an expansion of the tourism market in this year’s final quarter.
