Thailand Tourism strategy: Quality vs Quantity industry perspectives

Описание: Thailand’s tourism industry is at a crossroads in 2026. As global uncertainty rises and the Middle East conflict impacts travel demand, is the long-debated shift from quantity to quality tourism being put on hold?

In this episode of Trends, we explore how Thailand is balancing high-value tourism, luxury travel, and sustainable tourism with the urgent need for visitor volume to maintain hotel occupancy and economic stability.

Featuring exclusive insights from industry leaders including Michael Henssler (Centara Hotels & Resorts), Noor Ahmad Hamid (PATA), Laurent Kuenzle (Asian Trails), Rubel Miah (Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok), and Kim Martin Rasmussen (EXO Travel Thailand), this discussion dives into the reality behind the headlines.
