The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) recently reported that the kingdom recorded 161,540 Chinese tourists from Jan. 1 to Feb. 15, and it seems likely the target of 300,000 for the first quarter will be met, Xinhua reports.

According to the news agency, the Thai tourism industry is steadily recovering as it counts on the influx of Chinese tourists this year to be the driving force for the improvement. Latest data released by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports shows that Thailand welcomed 91,841 tourists from the Chinese mainland in January, a significant increase from last year's figure of 3,110, due to China's optimization of its COVID-19 policy.

Authorities have set a more ambitious target of welcoming 7 to 10 million Chinese tourists this year, compared to 11 million in 2019, Xinhua adds.
