Confidence index drops to nine-year low
The tourism confidence index plunged to the lowest level in nine years, though the industry is optimistic about the final quarter of 2020, which could lead to a total of 26.6 million international arrivals this year, according to the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT).
The survey was conducted Feb 20 to March 10, before some provinces imposed travel restrictions, but companies are bracing for a more extreme impact that will last longer, said TCT president Chairat Trirattanajarasporn.
