TIRUN Travel Marketing reported a 7.26% increase in passenger numbers over last year. Varun Chadha, CEO, said, “Short-haul Asian itineraries are driving the surge during the year-end season. Southeast Asia sailings, including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, continue to attract the highest volumes from Indian cruisers, reflecting strong demand for convenient regional cruise holidays.”  

Thailand is likely to welcome around 2.48 million Indian travellers by year-end, potentially its highest-ever figure, said Nattachit Oonsiam, Director, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Mumbai. He attributed the growth to improved air connectivity and strong leisure demand. Between 1 January and 15 December, Thailand recorded over 2.34 million Indians, marking a 17% growth compared to the same period last year.

Kanokporn Kunnawattana, Minister Counsellor, Thai Embassy, New Delhi, highlighted that Indian weddings are among the fastest-growing segments in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya. She said that Thailand is actively engaging Indian influencers and wedding planners to promote the destination, while also focusing on attracting business travellers and investors through projects like the EEC and Southern Land Bridge project.
