BANGKOK, Aug. 7 (Xinhua): Thailand's state tourism body has announced during a press briefing in the capital that under a worst-case scenario of a prolonged Covid-19 crisis, foreign tourist arrivals next year could be as low as 15 per cent of 2019 levels.
That would represent an international visitor total of 6.1 million, compared with 39.8 million in 2019 when the country enjoyed 12 full months of normal tourism conditions, said the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in its latest tourism forecast report.
