Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports is preparing to submit three tourism stimulus proposals totaling 2.45 billion baht, according to Bangkok Post. The initiatives are designed to generate an estimated 56 billion baht in broader economic value by encouraging both domestic and international travel. One component is a domestic travel co-payment scheme, which supports residents in taking trips within Thailand. A second component provides discounts on domestic flights to reduce travel costs and stimulate demand. The third component focuses on international travel by subsidising international flight costs, aiming to attract foreign visitors and increase arrivals. The proposals are described as pending approval, meaning they must be cleared through the relevant decision-making process before implementation. While the total budget and projected economic impact are specified, the sources do not provide further details on eligibility rules, timelines, or the distribution mechanism for the subsidies. The ministry is expected to formalise the package for consideration, after which the government’s approval would determine any adjustments to scope or funding.
