Surging Tourism Industry:
Thailand's tourism industry has been on an upward trajectory for decades, and there's no sign of it slowing down. The country's government has been proactive in promoting tourism, investing in infrastructure, and creating an attractive business environment for international investors. With an increasing number of tourists flocking to Thailand's pristine beaches, bustling cities, and cultural landmarks, the demand for world-class accommodations is set to soar.

This presents a unique opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on both domestic and international tourism.
Shift Towards Luxury and Experience-Based Travel:
Modern travelers, especially millennials and Gen Z, are seeking immersive experiences and unique stays.

1 年Good informative article and is also a benchmark to many other South East asian countries including Vietnam. which has similar tourism products if not less. Vietnam hotels mostly the midscale / stand alone ones seems to be lacking adotion of modern Sales and Marketing and Revenue Management Practices and the gap seems yawning even compared to Thailand which we realise as we dwelve down to numerous meetings with many hotel owners and managers. Of course there a very few who are updated with the latest trends. Is Vietnam missing the boat ?Whats your view on that ?
