Srettha Thavisin plans to shore up economic recovery by bolstering tourism.
BANGKOK: Thailand’s new Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin visited the resort island of Phuket today, a first official trip to underline plans to shore up economic recovery by bolstering tourism, a key driver of growth.
The state planning agency has since cut its growth projection to a 2.5% to 3.0% range from 2.7% to 3.7%. “Chinese tourists are an important part. China is slowing, they don’t encourage outbound tourism, so we need to make it easier for people to come to our country,” he said, suggesting loosening visa requirements.
He must put together a cabinet from a crowded 11-party alliance that includes bitter rivals of his Pheu Thai Party, which will lead its fifth government in two decades.Srettha on X, formerly Twitter, said he aims to boost tourism income next year to 3.3 trillion baht.
