Football World Cup has caused a decrease in the number of tourists in Thailand

Mundial 2018, which ended just two weeks ago, had a negative impact on the number of tourists in Thailand. The Ministry of Tourism of this state recently published official data on this matter.

Since the so-called "low season" occurs in Thailand during the first half of the summer, reports on it are compiled annually. In the summer of 2018, there was a recession of vacationers not only from Russia, where the World Cup was held, but also in all entry directions. For the month of the football holiday, the capital of the Russian Federation, according to official data, was visited by more than 3 million tourists from all over the world. Obviously, most of them annually rest in Thailand, but sports interests outweighed the desire to idly rest on the beaches.

The authorities in Thailand suggest that by the end of the season the influx of tourists will increase. But the already trailing recession will have a significant impact on the economy as a whole and the tourism sector in particular. Contrary to official opinion, there are thoughts that Thailand's resorts are losing attractiveness due to better conditions in other equatorial states.
